Re: [IRCA] From Paul Lotsof-AZ
KEVT was one of the two stations that conducted a DX test this season, WSRY-1550 Maryland being the other. KEVT can really get out on day power with code and sweeps; Nigel Pimblett in Alberta caught some sweep tones on their January test. The test started three and a half hours late; otherwise, I bet other DXers at such distances would have heard them as well. I sure hope they can send some DX test-style program content during those two hours - even with 10 kilowatts, voice IDs (whether English or Spanish!) have a hard time making it in this day and age.

Re: [IRCA] Sunset DX during June
WKKQ-1060 Hibbing was a one-time only log here in East Tennessee many moons ago. Monday morning April 11, 1977, there was a forest fire watch in effect for the area and WKKQ was on all night. They'd recently had a power upgrade from 1 to 5 kw, and, with KYW off for their regular Monday silent period, WKKQ pretty well enjoyed a clear channel and was putting in a good signal. When the clears were broken up in the 80's, WKKQ morphed into Nashwauk-650. Steve Francis Alcoa, Tennessee -Original Message- From: Donald K.

[IRCA] Pre-sunrise powers and Critical Hours powers
Is any attention paid to Pre-sunrise powers? I don't hear anything different happening at 6am and haven't for years. It's just another top-of-the-hour, as far as I can hear. Years ago, on regional frequencies, station sign-ons at 6:00 would pile on in layers, often covering the usual night dominant on the channel. Things sound no more (or less) congested now at 6:03 than they did at 5:57. Critical Hours restrictions have been ignored for years. When I worked at the Knoxville stations on 1580 and 1180 in the late 80's, nobody knew what I was talking about when I mentioned them to staff, including the owners. I strongly suspect these power restrictions exist only in some musty paper file in the bowels of the FCC building, as well as in the idealistic imaginations of the DXing brotherhood.

Zuk karl...@hotmail.com To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Fri, Jan 1, 2010 10:50 pm Subject: [IRCA] Far North Daytime Only AMs A question: How does the FCC handle daytime only stations who are very far north? If you are licensed to a town that experiences 'midnight sun' or close to it, are you allowed to operate until local sunset - or maybe 24 hours a day - if the sun never sets? Do these stations need to operate only very short hours during the height of winter or are their concessions made for this circumstance? A broader question: Are there any daytimers located that far north to begin with?

Re: [IRCA] Harry Helms Passes
Saddened to hear this. He was the first DXer I ever wrote. I'd received a sample copy of DX Monitor in March of 1970 and noticed his submissions. I asked him in a letter if he could recommend a good receiver as I'd decided to become a DXer like the other guys (and one gal) in that issue of DXM. He replied and recommended Radio Shack's Realistic TRF, mentioning good results Bruce Bacon and George Sherman, among others, were having with it. I've often shuddered to think what overpriced mediocrities I might have sprung for without his advice, as I knew nothing about electronics. He was only a high school senior then.

For the past few months he and his wife Di have lived in his home town of Fort Mill, SC, surrounded and loved by his extended family, old friends, and his dogs and cats.

Please know that this message is an act of love from Harry to you at the end of his amazing life. We ask that you remember him now as you knew him in years past. I believe that he would have me remind you to recognize your life's passion and let it guide you always.

The radio station hoped to make the move by sometime next fiscal year but radio regional director Susan Mitton said that isn’t likely to happen. “What they are going to do for the next year is prioritize areas of the country that have no service, so we aren’t obviously there,” she said. “It’s our Maritime priority but there are other parts of the country that have no CBC Radio One service. They are ahead of us.” Mitton said the move to FM is still on the wish list for next fiscal year. “We’re lower on the list though so it’s highly unlikely unless something happens, say a project in another part of the country doesn’t happen, well, that would obviously free up those and we could get back on the priority list.” When the CBC received permission from the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission in July to switch over to the FM dial it was given two to three years to make the move, she noted. The CBC has said the AM transmitter and antenna system off Keltic Drive will have to be replaced, along with other related broadcasting equipment, for the move from 1140 AM to 97.1 FM. The switch to FM will improve the signal, and the sound, for Radio One listeners, and will extend the broadcast into some pockets that currently aren't able to receive the AM signal. 18/02/08 _ ___ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Heard with very faint code at 1:02 and 2:03 EST through a mix of IBOC hash (probably from WWJ-950 Detroit), WERC, WFIR, KMA (I just KNEW they would go 24 hours as soon as that antenna work was finished last fall), and the Cuban ticker. No sweeps noted, and no test material heard around the 12:00 hour. Then-CKWS was first heard in November 1971. They were playing Sweet City Woman by the Stampeders that night. They remained a fairly frequent visitor throughout the decade.

Here's how they sound to me. A - ah B - beh C - seh CH - cheh D - deh E - eh F - ef'-feh G - heh H - ah'-cheh I - ee (long e sound) J - ho'-tah K - kah L - eh'-leh LL - eh'-yeh, ehl'-yeh, eh'-jeh, or even eh'-sheh or doe-bleh-eh'-leh M - em'-eh N - en'-eh Ñ - en'-yeh O - oh P - peh Q - koo R - eh'-reh S - eh'-seh T - teh U - ooh V - beh, or sometimes ooh-beh W - doe-bleh-ooh, doe-bleh-beh, sometimes ooh-beh-doe-bleh X - eh'-kees Y - ee-gree-eh'-gah, yeh, jeh, or sheh Z - seh'-tah Note that B and V sound alike, which could cause some confusion. Also, when letters are doubled, they can be combined into a doble. For example, I've heard XEEY often identify as Eh'-kees Doe'-bleh-eh' Yeh.

[IRCA] WCXH-780 DX test
I listened like a hawk for the entire hour, WBBM minimized as much as possible with the gear on a North-South bearing - not a trace of any test audio. Was rolling tape at the same time with another rig facing East-West and accepting the WBBM interference (I don't really know what bearing something in Far Eastern Maine would be from here, and didn't want to take any chances).? Haven't played the recording back yet, but I ain't optimistic. I wonder if a station this far Northeast is subject to polar absorption, such as Newfoundland might be??
