Re: [IRCA] 900 CKMO's transmitter's finally off!
Colin, CHML may have more of a lobe towards me, being 160 miles South of Victoria, but they are sure common. The three fairly common Ontario stations there days are Hamilton-900, Toronto-740, and Oshawa-1580. But Quebec is really tough to hear. Very rare.

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but I have not seen it. I got a phone call from Eldon Luoma of BC last night. He said about 2 weeks ago. Tom McCormick (West Lafayette IN) was on his way North into Alberta Canada and his van rolled. He passed away of head injuries. He was 61. I remember Tom at IRCA conventions back in the early 70s. He was quite a active DXer then and really a nice guy. In recent years, he was married to a Canadian lady and they lived in Edmonton. I am sad to hear this. My prayers go out to his family.

Re: [IRCA] Fiji off AM except 558
Walt, Thanks for posting this. Yes, I missed it. I have nearly all of the Fijian MW stations heard and QSL'd through the years. I remember well 890/891 Lautoka for years back in the 70s/80s. That frequency used to be all Fijian except for BBC News at 0800 UTC. Later on they switched to Hindi after 0700 and then all Hindi. But Lautoka was a real Island friend to me for many years.

Re: [IRCA] Fiji off AM except 558
Radio Fiji had some different frequncies back in the late 70s when I first heard them. They were using 1323 ,1206, 891, and 711. Later on they switched to 774 and 1152 vacating the above 4. I think the only 2 frequencies I never heard were 990 and 1089. 1089 was a 1 KW portable unit. The regular one here that I could depend on was 891. Their 10 KW from Lautoka had a great signal. I called Dave Williams and we were talking about the old 890, later 891. But the 890 was common through the 70s before the switch to the 9 kHz plan. After WLS would fade out (before KDXU), Fiji was there. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] New Station KARI 550 Blaine, WA
It took years to finally ID KBRW fo me living on the Northern Oregon Coast. KNBR SF is a powerhouse here running 50 KW ND 24/7. It is easier to log stations to the East on 680, that North. Plus CHFA is in the way. I knew I had logged KBRW in the past, but I could never get an ID from them. The format matched, but at ID time, too much KNBR, until a few years ago during a very good Northern opening that gave KBRW a slight edge in signal. I caught their weather forecast, IDs, and even IDs for their translators. But it wasn't easy phasing down KNBR enough. KBRW is a good verifier too. I have their bumper sticker on the back of my van. Living in AK for 12-1/2 years (55-67), AK has always been an interest to me. I only need a few stations to have them all, so I keep trying from Fall to Spring KTKN-930, KBBI-890, KENI-650 and KFQD-750 are the easiest here. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

They can probably give you a list of what tx are in what cities. When I phase out 1650 Astoria, I get either Newport and/or Coos Bay. The QSL I have goes back to 2004. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] Unknown TIS station 1660 heard 08/04/12
Dennis, I wonder if any NOAA ODOT are still operating on 1660 along the coast? I can barely hear one off the SW EWE, but nothing off the Eastern Beverage during the day, today. I will check a bit later. Hot here too. Out here, it hit 96 and Astoria was 92. For a time, Seaside was nearly 100. So not much cooler here than inland where Portland hit 102 and Vancouver 103. But cooler weather tomorrow along the coast, around 70.

Re: [IRCA] Unknown TIS station 1660 heard 08/04/12
Dennis, No sign of the TIS as yet. I tried to hear Sandy with the beverage also and not a peep. There is one weak one on 1660 off the SW EWE, too too weak to ID. What weather forecast are you hearing, or can you tell? At 5PM is was 95, 5:30 at 96, then by 6 PM, it was 90, 6:30, 84, Now it is 59 and very cool. The heat here was short-lived. 96 is a bit much for us on the coast. 65-70 is forecasted on Sunday, if the the clouds and fog burn off but that may not happen. I'll try again for the TIS.

Re: [IRCA] Unknown TIS station 1660 heard 08/04/12
Hi Dennis, Eugene would have been my guess. I do remember when I lived in Portland, Eugene stations would be pretty easy to hear with the shape of the valley. Here, except for KUGN and to a certain point KPNW, the rest of the Eugene stations are not strong. I wonder how many NOAA stations are on 1660 & 1650 now in Oregon? For those interested, ODOT will QSL. TIS stations are fun to log. Great going. I'll try for this one.

Re: [IRCA] Is HD RADIO the future for AM?
I think IBOC has been out there long enough to see it is not going anywhere. Even KEX looks like they dropped it. I have not heard IBOC on KEX for sometime. Now that I have said that, I hope I did not jinx it. hi. But the consumer just doesn't care. Even on FM, it has not been popular. Why even have IBOC on AM anyway? For the listener that enjoys decent frequency response in analog, trying to listen to a station running HD in analog, the audio suffers. KEX sounds great in analog without IBOC. They always did, if the listener had a good sound system.

[IRCA] NW Storm
Hi Everyone, We have another Pacific storm hitting the NW. Cannon Beach, South of Seaside got a wind gust of 99 MPH and Newport got one of 98 MPH. Lots of rain too and flooding. We have gotten about 3 inches in the past 36 hours and are expecting another 3+ inches by tomorrow. There is a possibility that as this low slides South and inland, the beaches could see gusts over 100 MPH for a time. It is daylight now and I see no damage. It even looks like the beverage is still there, at least the wire is not lose and the trees are still up. But it is roaring out there. Thank goodness we did not lost power either as Pacific Power beefed up the lines after our storm in 2007. Plus the big box stores like Costco cannot afford to lose power, plus Fred Meyer. Then of late, Warrenton oked Walmart and that should be built within the next year or so. But it has been a wild day. Too dangerous to be out right now to check things. But at least the satellite dishes look ok and are working. I guess the thought of the 2007 being a 100 year storm, this one 5 years later, blows that theory away. Is this the new normal for the coast? Time will tell.At least we don't get the damage they get in more populated areas. Thanks to Walt's suggestion a few years ago, I bought those Bose Noise Cancelling phones and they are worth their weight in gold to me. Hour after hour of roaring winds is rough to handle. It is like a 747 is parked over the roof.

[IRCA] NW Storm Update
After sending the emails yesterday, shortly after that the wind really picked up and gusts were around 100 MPH. One was clocked at 101 MPH on the Megler Bridge (Astoria), and Naselle Ridge in SW WA got one at 114 MPH. Mt. Hebo South, had 106 MPH. and out went the power a bit after 8 AM. The power was finally restored after 4 AM this morning, so it was off for 16+ hours. At the peak 32,500 were without power in Clatsop County. Fortunately these Pacific storms are warm, so the house temp only got down to 64F. All of the 3 AM's were off including the EAS station KAST! Since KAST/KVAS/FMs moved to Warrenton, when they lose power and then they cannot get the microwave signal over to the TX sites. They were better off at their old QTH, where the tower of KAST was right behind the building, but their new digs it makes it harder to operate. Most of the FMs were off too, except for KMUN and they took over the job of giving out info as they also did in 2007. This was a doosy of a storm, one of the worst. It did not go on as long as the one did in 2007, fortunately, but it took a lot of trees down and that it what distroyed the power. The powerlines stayed up fine, but not when a tree falls acress them. All of my antennas came through fine including my dishes. I lost a little roofing off my shed, which is easy to fix and no leaks in it. But this is another storm to remember. Thank the Lord I got through it safe and sound. But there were some that were killed with trees that fell across them and even crushed a few cars and houses. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] KVAS 1230 Astoria, Oregon
Dennis, Good going on KVAS as they do not get out all that well. Even their gw is not all that good. At my QTH at 7 air miles from their TX site, at night, it is impossible to get KVAS without stations under it. Years ago when they ran Old Time Radio, I wanted to record some of the old shows, but unless I wanted to drive into Astoria at night, I could not get them QRM free at night, no matter what I did.

[IRCA] OT UHF Yagis
I know several DXers also are heavily into TV/FM DX, since I am also not a member of the WTFDA, I thought maybe I could post a question here that is a bit off topic. I live on the Northern Oregon Coast as many of you know and I am trying to receive some translators 25-30 miles away (Gray's River WA). Some people around here can get them, but I have a hill in the way. All 5 of the UHF translators are digital now. ERP of 500-1200 watts. I used to get them snowy in analog, but now I get none of them strong enough to lock. The strongest one (38) I can get on the meter 18-28% and the signal bouncing around and it is not strong enough to lock. Right now I am using a 91XG Yagi I bought from Solid Signal and a 30DB Channel Master booster. Is there something better I could buy that would give me more gain? I have read on the internet about Corner Reflectors and Bowtie antennas, but I have no idea what would be the best. Could buy another 91XG and stack the two, but I am not sure if the extra gain would be any better. If that hill wasn't in the way, I am sure I would get the signal. Any suggestions? I cannot really raise the antenna, as the hill is too high to get around, and our wind would take the antenna down. It sits at 15 fet above the ground. The TV Fool site says at my QTH, the signal is knife edge. Thanks. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Would one antenna do well enough or should I add a second and make it a 16 bowtie? Can they be stacked? I have never used a Bowtie antenna before, just Yagis. It could be the Yagi is too directional to find the swwet spot too. I had thought of that. Down to Ch 7. that is great, if I get ay VHF skip. I have detected signal on Ch 13 (Seattle) but never strong enough to lock. This is with the UHF Yagi 91XG. >> Use the pre-amp and some good co-ax. Very most important: Find good height, keep trees and brush out of your pick-up path, and search for a sweet spot. UHF is really spotty and unpredictable.

With the bowtie, carrying it and moving it around may be easier too, by looking at the TV set. I plan on buying a portable TV Set that has a digital tuner. I wonder if most brands are equally sensitive or are some brands better? My knowledge of the OTA digital signal is limited.<< Much appreciated. I'll let you know how it all works out.

Re: [IRCA] OT UHF Yagis
Hi Craig, Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. >>The antenna you have does look good. Karl recommended the 8-bay antenna which is also very good. I've used that 8-bay on my tower since TV went digital. It's aimed at Boston stations around 40 miles away, and the local stations are 90 degrees off the side of the antenna. Boston stations read over 90 percent on the receiver, yet the local stations which are two miles away off to the side are slightly lower. That antenna is very directional. Channel Master CM- is about the best preamp.<< I forgot to mention that the preamp I have is the CM . I do have translators I get off Megler Mt that are 12.1 miles away, and they are strong, but I don't get eveything I want from them. Some have not gone ditital as yet. All of the Gray's River ones are digital, so they have more sub channels. At 12.1 miles away (LOS), I get: 17D (NBC) 1.8 KW ERP 94% 21A (FOX) 12.1KW 23D (PBS) 5.7KW100% 26A (ABC) 23 KW 34D (CBS) .586 KW 62% The Gray's River translators have ABC in Digital which has the best signal (no lock), Ch 38, and has METV for their sub channel. A friend 4 miles North of me gets that Gray's River tx at 81%, but he doesn't have the hill blocking him. >>What I would do is move the antenna around to see if there is a sweet spot. Would also get a 20' pipe of the largest diameter that the antenna will mount and guy wire it. Height makes a difference, and a length of pipe would stand up to your 100mph wind.<< Would that extra 5 feet make any difference? I have temp raised the antenna up to 25 feet in the Summer and still no difference in signal. The TV Fool info says I would have to go up to 100 feet to make any difference. That hill is about 2 miles away nd may be a few hundred feet high. >>Do you get different reception in winter vs. summer? Leaves can absorb signal. << I have not noticed that much of a difference and there is nothing blocking the antenna to the N/NE from my house to the hill. So no leaves of others things in the way. The Spruce trees are a long ways off. >>So far the best receiver I've had for TV is the current TiVo unit. Tried a few others including a rather expensive PHD-8VX. It was almost as good as TiVo. http://www.epvision.com/HDTVSTB/phd8vxmain.htm<< Thanks. I am looking for a good portable TV to try and find the sweet spot if possible. I need a digital portable TV anyway. >>Back in the 1950's a person in NY state had a similar problem as you do, a hill in the way. What he did was made a rhombic antenna on that hill aimed to New York City and connected directly to another rhombic aimed to him. That was a passive reflector and allowed him to receive TV. Kind of a cool trick.<< These Grays River tx are lp too, running from 500 w to 1KW ERP and that doesn't help either. Again thanks. I may try the 8 Bay as it would not be as tight of a pattern as the Yagi.

Re: [IRCA] India on 1071
Yes, I realize that India has been logged from NFD and the Queen Charlottes, but I wonder if anyone logged it from Grayland WA? Here in the NW, India is very rare. But the early 90s were amazing with logs from India (864), Bangladesh (558) and Nepal (792 & 576). These loggings were done with a EWE antenna, not a beverage. But Dxing on the OR coast as many years as I have (45+), I feel that the early 90s here were very unusual and being at the right place at the right time and using a top of the line receiver (Drake R8 at the time), with a good ECSS mode. Everything just came together. Oh course having a very low noise level makes all of the difference in the world too. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Re: [IRCA] India on 1071
Guy, I always get more excited when I see an outstanding catch from someone's backyard. I know many catches would never be logged here, but the OR/WA coasts have pulled in a lot of very rare catches. I think I remember, now that you mentioned it, your tentative logging of 864 on the WA Coast. I could not remember if India was logged by anyone else. To be honest, I did not really know for sure what my catch was, except maybe? India, until John Bryant played my tape to his students and one student from that area of NE India IDed the language and the station. But again, I think a lot of the DX was being at the right place at the right time. Except for a couple times in the late 90s when I also heard AIR 1566, I have not heard anymore Indians on MW here.
