Re: [IRCA] Banff Trip
I have a bandscan from Waterton too (1999) so I'll try to dig that one up. It was an interesting place to visit, with all the very large, healthy bighorn sheep roaming the streets of town. Couldn't enjoy the scenery too much due to overcast and fog. The AM TIS stations in Waterton and Banff are long gone; when I was at Waterton, they had merely covered up the frequencies on the old signs. Of the places I've stayed in Alberta so far, I definitely like Jasper best. Pretty good DX and tons of wildlife. I stayed in Lake Louise a few times and liked the conditions there with my old Radio West Loop in 1988. I have also stayed in Banff and Johnston Canyon. I prefer Johnston Canyon. It's between the two towns, on the old highway (where all the wildlife hangs around), and very convenient if you're going to visit this area. There is less risk of encountering electrical noise there, and you probably won't get so much of the hotel room effect of sharply-attenuated signals in the wooden cabins there. If you can carve out a few days to visit Jasper it is well worth it. All the old AM TIS stations are long-gone, but I understand from a 2005 visit that Columbia Icefields has been thinking about resurrecting theirs. 73, Tim On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 7:22 AM, Allen Willie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Pete, I spent almost 50 years as a resident in the province of Alberta before moving to Newfoundland in 2002.

Re: [IRCA] Cheater term and the FCC
What an intriguing thought! Now, if you wanted to achieve the same effect without breaking any rules, you could all switch formats to overmodulated Sinaloan tuba music for one night and create almost the same amount of adjacent-channel havoc that your pushy IBOC neighbors are inflicting on you! That might not have enough treble, though... perhaps an all-Yoko Ono format would be a more accurate match for the musical contours of IBOC hash. Come to think of it, maybe we should ask Jim to start using recordings of IBOC hash in our DX tests, since it seems to plow through everything else on the channel! ;) OK, I'll stop now. I clearly need some sleep... 73, Tim P.S. Just to keep this DX related - no change in the nighttime IBOC picture from San Diego last night - only KOGO-600, KNX-1070, and KMIK-1580 were noted.

Re: [IRCA] Cheater term and the FCC
Good discussion. I think the glitches that happen and only last a night or two are kind of fun - mini-DX tests really. As long as the station figures it out (or reads it here) and corrects the problem, no foul. I'm not perfect either (no matter what everyone says, LOL). These short-term accidents will never come close to matching the interference that IBOC will produce night after night. I try to save the C word for stations that are brazen about it, like KILE Bellaire, TX (Houston suburb). When I was in Houston for a week in 2004, they were selling brokered programs at least 4 hours after sunset each night (no accident there!) and leaving their carrier on all night to boot. It's disappointing that they were recently rewarded with a CP for legitimate night operation. I personally like the HS FB rule - it's one of the few times we get to hear programming that actually serves the community. Talk radio and snake oil salesmen don't meet that description. 73, Tim On 9/22/07, Craig Healy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Very good comments. But both the IRCA NRC lists are indeed Googled. 10 minutes after I post something on either list, it ends up on broadcasting lists per several engineers I know. They see and read all about us and what we hear and report. That is another reason I try to keep away from terms that would be offensive to radio stations. Well, never having bothered to look, I didn't know that. Not that it makes a whit of difference to me. If someone takes offense to what I've written, I'm perfectly happy to debate the point. I'm sure my dislike of IBOC has gathered me no fans. But, until they come up with something that doesn't trash the neighbors, and actually covers as well as analog, then I won't budge. I put it as a parallel to a neighbor with a loud stereo that intrudes into your house and disrupts your life. Why stations actually put up with that is quite beyond me. I truly applaud people like Bob Savage who speak up to try to save their own skins. We seem to have a certain amount of CEs in this day that know all about DXIng and most are active Hams. Yet they refuse to QSL reports. I would think the CEs that are Hams would be more than happy to QSL, but they don't. A far cry from 40 years ago, which is sad to see. One CE told me that he would QSL, but only his Ham station. Strange. A QSL is always a favor, and not anything required. It's their choice. If they wanted to QSL reports only coming from people whose last name began with M, then there isn't a bloody thing to be done for it. Years ago there were at least several engineers per station, even low power daytimers. Today there are several stations per engineer. I have close to a dozen stations for whom I do work or consult. Add the increasing demands of life in general, and there's not a whole lot of time left. I don't think I've asked for a QSL for many years, not even for tests. Heck, I really don't even keep a formal log any more. Haven't done that for a couple of decades. However, I remember what I've heard, and that's good enough for me. There is no need for me to bug someone to verify what I already know. Other people derive great pleasure from QSLs, so more power to them. It's how you want to do the hobby. I have to wonder how many engineers have realized that someone is on to their cheating by reading these lists. And how many of them have been saved a visit from the FCC because we have served as an early warning system for them. From that perspective, they owe us. Anyone remember any station written about in here as a cheater or as broken and then having them go back to correct operation? If so, here's something for them: You're Welcome!

Here in San Diego I only noted severe hiss from KFBK completely covering 1520 and 1540 in the pre-sunrise hours. Other than that, conditions were better than normal last night. Our only local i-BLOCker, KOGO-600, is not running IBOC at night yet. I suppose from now on we should call these stations by their true frequency ranges, e.g., KOGO-590/600/610; KFBK-1520/1530/1540. Maybe we should count 'em in our totals 3 times too ;) 73, Tim On 9/14/07, Patrick Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dennis, If you are getting hiss on 660, it is probably KSTE, but maybe KBOI who is HD, but days only.

Re: [IRCA] SOS in Morse code on the radio today
Interesting - It's kind of surprising that their advertising department got the Morse code right. That's pretty good attention to detail for marketing folks :) This reminds me of something that happened a few years ago. There was a DX test on the east coast or maybe the midwest, on a fairly crowded channel. A station much closer to me on the same channel ran a commercial including some Morse code which just happened to include 3 out of the 4 letters (in sequence) from the testing station's call letters. I thought we might see a bunch of false reports from the west coast the next morning, but happily we didn't (it would have been a pretty honest mistake). I can't remember which DX test this was now... 73, Tim On 7/31/07, Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was surprised when the broadcast I was listening to today was interrupted by several rounds of SOS in Morse code.

[IRCA] San Diego/Tijuana update
The 620 station is XESS, nominally licensed to Ensenada but clearly operating as a Tijuana station. During the day they get winged by KOGO's IBOC. I don't listen to XEC-1310 very often. I think they might still play some NOS at times, but maybe not oldies anymore. I think I mostly hear talk on that station these days but I'm not 100% sure about that. I forgot to mention that XESURF-540 seems to be running locally these days, at least at times. I hear them using the slogan San Diego's 5-40 country, the zoo.

Bob notified me several weeks ago that he had a recurrence of Cancer (type unspecified) and was to begin treatments again. He had successfully fought off one bout of Cancer several years ago. He told me this was a different type of Cancer and asked me not to tell anyone. I received an e-mail from Maria a few days ago that Bob was in the hospital as he had an adverse reaction to some of the drugs he was now taking. Apparently Bob's body could not adapt or recover from this treatment. Bob I go back a long long way. He was one of the first dxers I met when I resumed the hobby in California in the mid 60s. We started the well known ERBA (El Rancho Bar/Beverage Association) and attended several conventions together as well as many personal visits. Bob was a lifetime member of IRCA. I'm not positive of his age but I'd guess about 65/66. He Maria were married not long before Eloise I said our vows in 1976. They have two adult children, Bryan Tracy. We will miss our buddy tremendously. Maria asked that I notify the dx clubs. When I am able to talk with her I will see whether she will authorize giving out her e-mail address should anyone wish to correspondence personally with her. I have to stop.

Re: [IRCA] IBOC Hash trashes KSL
Well said... For what it's worth, here in San Diego, we have two stations very close together: KOGO-600 running IBOC, and XESS-620, the fraudulent Tijuana station which pretends to be in Ensenada, not running IBOC. KOGO's daytime IBOC hash is enough to put a nasty squeal on top of XESS' signal on 620. It will be interesting to see what happens when two or more legitimate stations start interfering with each other... Although I'm prepared for the worst (a total AM apocalypse which renders the band useless for DXing, even in remote areas like national parks), I cautiously expect the actual outcome will be at least a little less horrible than that... 73, Tim On 4/9/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think this could be a more important factor in the potential failure of IBOC than anything else.

Hi Willis, KRLD-1080 does make it into San Diego at times, though the slop from KNX-1070 and XEPRS-1090 is formidable. KSCO is a bit more common but KRLD is quite often there. We also have a station in San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora that is noted occasionally. WWL, WBAP, and WOAI were all nightly visitors on my clock radio in Virginia in the 1970s.

Re: [IRCA] Format Announced for KTRB-860 San Francisco, California
Talk with just about any adjective in front of it is pretty awful. Even sports talk, because there are too many networks and the talent has been diluted. The toughest part of DXing these days is sitting through 59 minutes of tripe to get an ID (if they remember to include one - good luck if it's ESPN).

Re: [IRCA] Format Announced for KTRB-860 San Francisco, California

I sometimes have to sit through some pathetic promos (especially on Coast-to-Coast and ESPN stations) between :58 and :00, but these settings work pretty well and give me a little margin for error in case the timer doesn't keep perfect time.

[IRCA] XESS-620 / XESDD-920 / XESDD-1030
Update on the legitimate Ensenada/Tecate stations and their not-so-legitimate Tijuana doubles: The legitimate station XESDD-920 appears to be off. I can't tell about the other two legitimate stations XESS-1450 or XHBCE-92.1 FM as I don't hear them regularly from Chula Vista. The not-so-legitimate XESDD-1030 is still running music which I think could still be described as Mexican oldies, though I do hear some news in the mornings. The signal is currently very weak and (I would guess) undermodulated (the carrier is fairly solid but the music is barely audible). KURS-1040 is louder despite being a few miles farther away and (allegedly!) much lower power. I just noticed not-so-legitimate XESS-620 is running classic rock (last song was I've Been Waiting for a Girl Like You) and using the slogan Radio Fiesta after their call-letter IDs.

Re: [IRCA] Cruise dx'ing???
I have DXed twice from cruise ships and loved it. Over New Years 1990-1991, we sailed from LA to Puerto Vallarta. I took my Sony ICF2010 and Radio West Loop. Reception was fantastic. I remember getting armchair copy of WSB from the west coast of Mexico plus a handful of GYDX records that stand to this day. In September 2003, we cruised from Seattle to Juneau (one way) on a sternwheeler. I took my ICF2010 with me, and shipped my big Kiwa Loop to the cruise ship (for the trip home, I stopped at the post office in Juneau and mailed it back to my house). Reception was great after midnight (this was a small ship, and there was a really nice lounge on the top deck at the stern of the boat, which had canvas walls with plastic windows - enough to shield me from the elements without interfering with the DX at all). I remember hearing good signals from XECU-1450 and KVNS-1700 on the way to Skagway. I think I set 41 GYDX records on that trip. For recording, you might want to get one of those inexpensive digital recorders (I have an RCA that cost about $39 about 2 years ago). They're worthless in the low-fidelity mode but quite serviceable in the high-fidelity mode (I get about 2 1/2 hours on my little recorder, usually enough to record ToH IDs and tape loops from the TIS stations I encounter). I keep this recorder with me on car trips. I find I can get decent recordings of TIS stations while I'm driving, just by holding the recorder near the car speaker. That reminds me, I have about 50 TIS recordings I still need to extract and post to my web page. I would expect you would have fascinating reception from the mid-Atlantic. I stayed on the Atlantic coast of Barbados in 1986 and had a great time listening to S America in the evenings, N America after midnight, Europe at sunrise and sunset, and the occasional African.

My only other loggings from 1210 are CFYM, KEBR, KGYN, KUNF, KHAT, KRSV, KZTS and KWMG (spanning 10 years) with assorted EE and SS programming. As a reference, occasionally KBIF 900 in Fresno, CA plays the sort of programming I was trying to describe. Anyways, no new catches here yet. Have a great day and thanks for keeping me informed and on the straight path. 73- Doug ___ 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 ___ 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] [dxtip] XEPE-1700
The answer is kind of odd... These guys run two additional stations under what I would consider to be false pretenses: 1. They operate XESDD-1030 Tijuana as if it were an Ensenada station, but the real XESDD in Ensenada continues on 920 kHz with no relation to the new station. 2. They operate XESS-620 Tijuana (after a brief stop on 780 kHz) as if it were an Ensenada station, but the real XESS in Ensenada continues to operate on 1450 kHz with no relation to the new station. ... so only XEKTT-1600 (which moved to a Tijuana transmitter and changed frequencies to 550, 560, and 1700, becoming XEPE somewhere along the way) has actually vacated its old frequency. They also operate KURS-1040. For a time, the studios for XESDD-1030 and KURS-1040 were in the same building in Chula Vista. It was odd to see two stations on adjacent channels operating out of the same building! Their FM is XHBCE-105.7 - this one is currently apparently LMA'd to the folks who lease XEPRS-1090 and is the other half of double X sports radio... 73, Tim On 1/2/07, saulamdx [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What are the other stations? --- Dennis Gibson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How much power they're running is unknown.

Re: [IRCA] [dxtip] XEPE-1700
Good question. As far as I can tell, the other two appear to be running more reasonable powers - it seems to me they negotiated something like 5kW days, 1kW nights, and I would guess they are behaving themselves more or less. Co-managed perennial cheater KURS-1040 has reportedly been fined a couple of times for running over their authorized night power, but that's on a much smaller scale. I think their licensed power is something like 63 watts; I suspect they are still running several hundred watts today, and were probably running at least 1kW several years ago when they got fined. XEPE is obnoxious. They're at the very top of the band, yet I'd be hard pressed to name a 50kW station that gets out so well. They slop all the way down to 1640 during the day, and create a mixing product on 1560 (mixing with nearby XEUT-1630, which appears to have cut power in the past year or so) which sometimes persists well into the night. Surprisingly, the 1030/1040 combo does not generate whole lot of interference, even when one listens from locations between the two transmitter sites. The same was true of 540/550 when XEKTT(XEPE) started operating from Tijuana (nominally Tecate) on 550. We need a good sheriff to come in here and clean up this lawless town! Last I checked, we still had a pirate on 96.9. I think the 106.9 is gone... And the newer stoplights generate some of the loudest electrical noise I have ever heard. 73, Tim On 1/2/07, saulamdx [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting, and funny about 1030/40.

[IRCA] Old radio ads - San Diego
I recently uncovered a clipping I had saved from the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper June 9, 1996. It was a panoramic picture of the outfield of Lane Field, an old ballpark in downtown San Diego where the PCL Padres used to play. The ads in the outfield included KFMB 550 k.c. - ABC - First on your dial KYOR 1130 - Your community station KUSN AM 1510 - Music and sports, weather, 5000 watts, good listening 18 hours daily (Does anyone know what became of that last one?) 73, Tim Hall Chula Vista, CA ___ 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
