[IRCA] Country music on 1220

[Powell E. Way III]

While tuning around on 1220, I caught some country music on 1220, and soon it 
was overtaken by the IBOC from 1210.  I wonder who that could be.

Earlier, 890, Radio Progresso, 880 Radio Progresso. This is on my recent 
eBay find,  a Grundig Majestic 3160U.  This radio has such great audio.

Re: [IRCA] WAOS-1600

[Powell E. Way III]

This group has " a long history" so to say, with the FCC, especially with their 
Gainesville, GA 1130.  Mentioning these 2 stations to the FCC people in person 
gets a very raised eyebrow and a serious scowl on the face, if you get what I 
am inferring.

Re: [IRCA] OT Light bulbs

[Powell E. Way III]

I will tell you LED based lamps are NOT noise free. it was noisy on AM right 
close to the radio, but obliterated FM. The lamps sits very close to the FM 
antenna atop the radio.  The Sylvania CFL was much quieter.  

All I can say about this thread. Quit the @#$@#$ whining.  You CAN get and use 
halogen lamps.  They are nothing more than encapsulated incandescent run at a 
much higher temperature.  LED  lamps would be quieter if they filtered the 
power supply correctly.  Same for CFL.  I use magnetic fluorescent lamps 
whenever possible and have no problems.

Re: [IRCA] OT Light bulbs

[Powell E. Way III]

The majority of CFLs now are 2700K color same as incandescent. Therefore you 
don't like incandescent.  You can get CFLs in 2650 ( GE reveal) 2700, 3000, 
3500 ( the original color in fluorescent lighting in 1939, but a better color 
correction now) , 4100, 5000, some 5500s and 6500s.  5500 is considered the 
color of high noon sunlight.  

Most of the incandescents made recently are garbage from China. Same for CFLs. 
Same for LED.  Same for most halogens now, though GE is building a factory for 
halogen. Some late Sylvania incandescent lamps were USA made. You can still 
purchase rough service lamps. You can use clear incandescent lamps intended for 
tower or traffic lights.  Standard side marker lamps for towers and traffic 
lights arer 116 watts.  They have a long life, and sometimes because of this 
will fuse in the socket. They should not be burned base up because of this.  
Periodic removal and cleaning the base and installing back will prevent this.

Re: [IRCA] Radio's Digital Dilemma

[Powell E. Way III]

The problem with FM IBOC is the power. It is currently 1% of analog.  Some 
stations will be able to increase power, but a lot will not be able to.

BTW this is also a problem with HDTV, not enough power.

Willis,

I listened to the first part. It was fair, but I am a bit close for really good 
copy.   I think I am under 150 miles from Eatonton, GA.  I had KXEL and CHIN in 
the mix

Even logged KXEL, which is rear.

The S-38 series ended and then the S-120 emerged. The S-38 series was way 
better on AM as it did NOT have a ferrite bar antenna. They both have the 
capacity to electrocute you if you are not careful. They are AC-DC sets and a 
metal cabinet. NOT GOOD!

Re: [IRCA] Hodge-podg

SX-88 models are VERY rare. There were VERY few made! What model National?  
They also made quite a few radios.
 
I just bought a S-40A that needs a lot of work. On something that old all the

The SX-88 is nothing more than an improved SX-42.  I have a SX-62A.  It's a 
hernia maker. 
 
On the SX-62, and likely the SX-42, as the SX-62 is more or less a "consumer 
version" of the SX-42 series.  The warning is that NEVER EVER let the 
capacitors across the tone switch go bad. If they do it will destroy the audio 
output transformer.

Re: [IRCA] noise issue update

[Powell E. Way III]

I don't have ANY incandescent lamps in use except for a couple small diameter 
candlelabra styled lamps. Incandescent light is a very INaccurate poor color 
rendering light. 
 
You can get CFL lamps with colors at 2600 (Reveal) 2700, 3000 3500, 41000, 
5000, 5500,6000 and 6500 kelvin.  The GE Reveal gives a warm lush light with a 
slight pink hint. Using Brand X CFL lamps insure early failure. I have an old 
GE 23 watt ( 100+ equivalent) 6500 daylight bulbon the back of the house. I 
am breaking rules... no exposed, outdoor it says AND it's been on 24/7 for over 
2 years. If you use an outdoor antenna there's no interference. I found the 
Phillips SL series WERE noisy and gave them away. It's too bad that is the 
case, they last forever. I have a DESK lamp in my radio room that has 2 F15T8 
lamps in it. It SITS ATOP the radio, and you will not hear a WHISPER OUT OF 
IT.  It is not a CFL.  The Sylvania Living Spaces CFL is very rich in color, 
and is very quiet compared to the GE reveal, though the wire for the lamp that 
has it goes RIGHT by the small 3 foot wire on the old tube type Heathkit. 
 
S no blanket condeming please. 
 
However in a few years, you will see very few CFLs as a breakthrhough in LED 
lighting has happened that will bring the cost down to a few dollars. 
 
If you want you can use the halogen replacements starting to show up. Just be 
aware they are a fire hazard at End Of Life failure. They can explode and cause 
a fire.

I bought a CASE of Duro Test 116 watt marker lamps marked as 100 watters for a

Halogen lamps run directly off line current cannot make noise. The ones that

can also EXPLODE at end of life.

Re: [IRCA] UNID help?

[Powell E. Way III]

I know of an occasion where an applicant built his transmitter site out before 
the CP was issued and the FCC got pissed off and made him disassemble 
everything. 

The FCC updating from when something is issued as in a CP is automated.  It 
doesn't take weeks or months.  And if it didn't show up on the FCC site, he 
didn't get the "papers" and certainly would not put it on the air.

[IRCA] This KHMO thread

[Powell E. Way III]

I will say this, Neil got it right. Class, the rest of you get an "F".  I f you 
do not understand, read what Gary quoted about the FCC rules. I have been in 
broadcasting for 44 years, almost 45, and IF my station had that problem and 
was not corrected IMMEDIATELY when someone knew about it, they would NOT have a 
job. 

Gary is Paul's friend and it was his moral responsibility to call Gary to 
report this.  

Those of you who do not understand this lose a LOT if not ALL respect from me.  

And I DON'T wonder why some stations won't do DX tests...

I could say more but then I would REALLY get pissed off ! ! !

Subject: [IRCA] What are the specs for ultralight radios?

Hi.  Please tell me what kinds of radios qualify as "ultralights?"  What about 
a 
GE Superradio, or a common car radio?  I live in an apartment complex, and thus 
have no room for antenna arrays.  So most of my loggings may qualify as dx from 
an ultralight.
Thanks,

If this "mystery" station is still on at night and you want to compare

[IRCA] A tale of 2 Ultralite duds

[Powell E. Way III]

Thhe Mini World 100 PE is a small 2AA set that tunes AM, FM and 6 shortwave 
bands. It is not especially sensitive on AM.  Audio is good, and superb in 
headphones. A loop antenna helps.

I have 2 black Mini 300's.  Digital display with cranky analog tuning. The whip 
for FM and SW also work on AM. When you do this at night you get stronger 
reception but all kinds of whistles and other noises.  The SW is OK. The FM is 
OK.  I still want a red or yellow one. I expect battery life is better on the 
100 as it has no clock, nor digital display.

Re: [IRCA] CFL bulbs

[Powell E. Way III]

Not for long. 4 for 99 cents, I bet you have to replace them often.  

The GE Reveal, and the Sylvania counterpart are bright and white. My tests show 
they don't come remotely close to rated hours, and I was running them 24/7 
which means they should last WELL past rated hours. This test was run in West 
Columbia and now here in Silverstreet. Different fixtures.  The 40 watt ones 
are as bright as 60's. These must be 90 volt bulbs run at 120.   :)


And eventually you won't be able to get incandescent lamps for home or they 
will be mandated to be expensive.  

I did however get a "box" ( what they came in from GE) of 40 watt Candelabra 
bulbs with the bent tip for $5.00. 4 bulbs to a blister pack and I think 8 or 
so packs.  I guess I will be using those for years. In my dining room I have 
CFL's  in the 5 lamp fixture than hangs down over the dining room table. 
candelabra style.  They are brighter than the 60 watt incandescents they 
replace. No interference. The TV is my interference culprit.  

And then there's the BRAA   power line noise. It gets 
into the high VHF TV channels.

Well, they have 2 transmitters don't they? If they still have the BE, then 
likely they have something gone KA-FLOOEY in the ATU (Antenna Tuning Unit)..

Re: [IRCA] Old portables

[Powell E. Way III]

I have a tube type RCA B-411. It runs on a D cell for filaments and 67.5 B 
battery for the other voltages. 1951 says the tube dates. It has all the 
original tubes.  As for the GE, if it's the one I am thinking of, one of their 
early transistor radios was in the same exact case.

Subject: [IRCA] The Tecsun CL-1100: the new Superadio?

Amid the delightful furor the PL-300WT is causing, another Tecsun DSP
receiver, the CL-1100 may also end up causing quite a stir.  Jeff McMahon,
the Herculodge site owner, had one sitting around that he never actually
used, thinking it was the non-DSP previous model.

However, he fired it up this morning, and not only does it have DSP, but
it sounds like it has a big ferrite as well, holding its own with his
Sangean PR-D5 and its 8-inch ferrite.  He said the sound is quite good,
putting out 1 watt of power.  As with the PL-300WT, FM sensitivity is off
the charts, picking up normally-marginal stations like locals.

This combination of sensitivity and selectivity may put this amongst the
elite of portables, making receivers like the GE/RCA Superadio and, dare I
say it, no it can't be, the Sony ICF-S5W, wondering what happened.  Man, I
am having a terrible time resisting the "Buy It Now" button.

So, the good folks at Tecsun may have quite a line-up of new DSP radios!

Re: [IRCA] Grundig G8 Performance

[Powell E. Way III]

As a side note the signal strength number on the left only goes to 98 on MW.    
I had it at WKDK a few feet from the tower and that's what I got.  The right 
number quickly maxes out at 25.  You get higher S/N readings on FM.

[IRCA] G8 test

[Powell E. Way III]

I ate at Ronnies Restaurant in Newberry, and did my G8 test in the lot.  It 
wasn't dark so I couldn't hear anything via skywave, but there was only minor 
spit from WKDK at 1 air mile. WKDK 1240 @1000 watts.  Pretty good.  WKDK 
pounding strong at that monitoring point.

Re: [IRCA] Frank FM 97.1 (1310) audio clip

Bill there is no 97.1 that  WDKD would simulcast with, and there likely would 
be ID's with it. 

Ahh writing WDKD is hard I work at WKDK..

Charlie Walker, now retired, first worked at WKDK then on to WDKD, and his on 
the air talk got their license REVOKED in the 50's for what he said. NOW, that 
wouldn't even raise much of an eyebrow, but maybe a chuckle or two.

In the back of my mind I was things about WDKD, but because of the lack 
of evidence did not say anything. The reason I was thinking of WDKD was 
in the past many East Coast DXers have logged them at night while they 
were relaying their FMer, Star-FM. They are fairly easy here in Maryland 
at times, but I don't think I have heard them with a full legal ID at 
night, always "Star-FM"

So, I would not be surprised if this were indeed WDKD. Is there a DXer 
nearby WDKD who can confirm or refute this?
