That is true, but 1070 is not a "regional" frequency to use the old term. In fact a lot of daytimers have substantially reduced critical hours powers and NO power at all after sundown or before sunrise on 1070 as it's a clear.

Re: [IRCA] GROUNDWAVE RANGE ON MEDIUMWAVE
I noted, when I lived in the main lobe of WAGL 15600 Lancaster, SC, that even in the summer, during the hottest dryest time at noon, there was always some skywave component to the signal, with a slowly varying signal, and some selective fades. At a bit more distant, WBT 1110 Charlotte, NC showed NONE of this at my location in West Columbia, SC. One winter day when 1530 was WSAI and I had the day off WSAI Cincinnati stayed in all day and wasn't very strong but was steady as a rock and never a fade. I called Paul Jellison the regional engineer and he suggest I call in a request as that part of the day was live. The on air guy was amazed, and I said if he didn't belive me to ask Paul Jellison. He made a very special request notation that I had heard him in South Carolina!

The low end of the band is far different than the high end, and ground conductivity plays a VERY essential part of how far a MW signal will go out via groundwave. Groundwave NEVER goes farther than skywave normally. There IS NO groundwave on shortwave. There's some line of site stuff like FM, but it's not truly groundwave. > Although not directly relevant to the MW band, an > empirical study reported recently in QST magazine > found that, on the high frequency bands (I believe > the study involved 3.5, 7, and 14 MHz), ham signals > from surprisingly short distances -- as little as > 15-20 miles or so away, if memory serves -- are, in > most cases, arriving via near vertical incidence > skywave (NVIS) propagation, rather than groundwave.

There is very poor groundwave on the upper end of the broadcast band. The 160 meter band has some groundwave, and it's not good when you have only a limited amount of power. High power on the upper end of the BC band shows there is always some skywave component even in summer, but it's high angle and can cause grief to groundwave reception at 70 to 90 miles.

Mike, do you think the FCC > will reopen X Band > apps and give stations a second shot? The rule WAS to give up the X band allocation after 5 years or the original allocation. A few have not done that, a lot have. Being in radio for around 40 years and have had the highest FCC commercial license [once useful for broadcast radio ] since the late 70's ( and that now means NOTHING...just paper that can burn up in a fire ... I know..) .welll ah as I said earlier before I read the earlier stuff and wasn't even in my mind when Pat posted . I would exect the FCC is not going to re open the X band in the near future or even distant future. And the FCC is worrying about more important thing.

KOHI would have been great there as the > nearest station on there is Tecate, Mexico. That doesn't mean as much as the lower frequencies. That far up the band 1700 has a lot of shortwave characteristics. Even as low as 1560 there's ALWAYS skip (albeit very high angle) during the daytime. That's more pronounced at 1700. And at night the skywave certainly is a major problem for listeners in the close in local area for the listeners. The 1630 in Augusta, GA on the VERY best nights when the skip is low is 15 miles. On nights when skip smokin' and the A and K index is low. maybe UP TO 10 miles at THE very best. 10,000 watts at 1700 and 250 watts on 540.well give me the 540 any day! And that boring religious canned talk KOHI runs, in my opinion IS NOT serving the local area. It's not local. Just BORING.very B O R I N G religious talk that has NO local content. That's the cheap and dirty way to run things.

Re: [IRCA] SRF-59 Eats IBOC For Supper!
Unfortunately down in the -S-S-S-S-S-Sunny South, WBT is still erased at night. Quite a few of the first adjacents are just not listenable. In many cases the interference is not off axis enough.

Re: [IRCA] Wince-worthy IBOC praise article
--- Scott Fybush <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Well, Scott, from the article I read, I would NEVER hire him at a station I owned due to factual errors. HD is not by any stretch of the imagination and never stood for that. It's not CD qualityh or even NEAR CD quality. AM HD at night erodes a lot of the local groundwave coverage of stations. We already knew that in 2004. When I went out west, I drove through Nashville at night twice. WLAC has *S E V E R E* IBOC interference from then WSAI, now WCKY. There was only a fairly narrow and small area on I-40 that WLAC was somewhat noise free. Otherwise there was a VERY annoying hiss in the background through the city limits. Just beyond that WLAC became rapidly unpleasant to listen to and then just unlistenable, and within primary ground coverage. WLAC though normally super strong in Silverstreet is badly hissed up. I've lost WBT at night! Jerry Dowd at WBT is not very happy at all. As for FM, EVEN with an outside FM antenna on the inside ( ask Kevin Redding about my set up ) I have a hard time getting decoding. The 1% power level for digital on FM is too low. The proposed going to 10% will cover better with a major jump in interference. And I'm sorry to inform IRA, the rules of nature don't bow to HD radio. There will be skywave, there ARE NOT any antennas that don't have skywave. You can't order a K9 A400 solar conditioin just because you want to run HD. Yeah, wanna run HD full power? Fine!

[IRCA] other portables
I have a RCA RFG 12J, "The Alexander". It looks like a more plain version of the RFG20 talked about in Transistor.org. 2 gang tuner, no TRF (if it had a TRF it would have a larger 3 gang tuner. 8 transistors and runs on 2 D cells. It does NOT have an earphone plug. Battery life is probably close to the world famous GE P780 series. Interesting, though, it has 3 wires and a capacitor connected to the speaker. I wonder if it actually has a 2 way speaker in that small size. But THE most amazing RCA, and Bob Smoak can attest to that, is the RJG 42E. I gave him my old one. It dates to the mid 60's. It has 10 transistors, and has a tuned RF stage. It is*T H E* only radio that will play perfectly at WKDK and NO images anywhere on the dial. You have to get within a couple feet of the tower before it will distort. I had it at Clemson in the mid 60's and tried it at WANS 1280 and 5000 watts. It was fine until I got RIGHT up to the tower fencing. And it's sensitive also. For the sensitivity in a tiny package is the Zenith Royall 66 / Royal 705. Tuned RF stage and smoking hot. Mine has to go to the Zenith repair man in Sumter, SC. It suddenly has become ill. I don't know about nulling, but I'd bet it's better than the SRF-59 sensitivity and selectivity wise. I DON'T know about Nulling. The drawbacks are age, and the fake leather case is very fragile, especially the back. The earphone jack like other Zeniths of the era require you to open the back, which was a SERIOUS design flaw. The back of most of these era Zeniths have NO hinges.

Folks lets edit the subject line please, so it won't goof up the mailers rules folks have written to get the messages into the right folders. Thanks! I could not tell which group it was intended for, and I'm a co moderator at ABDX. On SOME lists the moderator gets bounce messages if you try to send to the wrong one. Lynn can tell us about that... ]:) Powell POP email is powell at backroads DOT net ___ 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

If it would corrode a switch, then it would also ruin pots and bandswitches. I've never seen a DeOxIt just for switches, but they recommend following with PreServIt.
