[IRCA] WFAW 940 Test
The test was heard !!! I listened right on time at midnight CST and heard nothing for the first hour, and fell asleep. I heard a lot of WMIX, Mt. Vernon, Il. that first hour . Anyway, I awoke at 0242 hearing sweep tones.yippee!! I listened for the rest of the test, and heard sweep tones again at 0251 and also 0256.!! Never heard any morse, but I was delighted to even hear the sweep tones. WMIX was the major pest here in northern South Carolina. WMAC in Macon was nulled and not a factor. This test was of special interest to me as I visit the Delavan , Wi. area a couple of times a year, and enjoy listening to WFAW when I do.They carry Neal Boortz, probably my favorite talker. My thanks to the folks at WFAW, especially Ernie Swanson, K9LO , and Jim Pogue and any others for making this test possible. Test was heard on both the Grundig S350 and also on the mighty Sony Walkman. 73, Chris Johnson K2FO Taylors, S.C. ___ 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

I've used it a few times years ago when I needed a wide fat ground connector from a radio shelf to a metal plate on a concrete floor. I was having RFI issues and the setup took care of the feedback. Rick Kunath Archaeologists are fond of this stuff. You build dirt sifters out of a wooden square frame and the cloth makes the bottom. Pour in the dirt and shake the frame (the more elegant ones suspend the entire frame so your arms don't) and you sort out the larger items. You can get a 1/8 inch mesh, as well. And yes it is known as hardware cloth in Fla as well. It is quite stiff. The wires make exact squares. What I know as chicken wire has a hexagonal-shaped opening about one inch on a side and is much more flexible, and surely costs a lot less. Just enough to keep the chicken from escaping.

He was an excellent musician though few ever really noticed. He wanted to be different, and he did it well. There was a lot of shock value to his music and he plowed through what many considered acceptable or objectionable, and he spared no expense with on-stage theatrics. Because he was a musical wizard, he was able to do it for more than 20 years before he died of cancer. You either liked him or hated him. I'd venture a guess that you would have hated him with a passion (to put it mildly). Frank Zappa first came to prominence with this group, The Mothers of Invention in the early 1960's.

Most TIS stations have a very minimal ground system that is mostly for static/lightning dissipation rather than for counterpoise purposes. I have inspected well over 100 TIS installations up close and only a couple had efficient ground systems. Most of the pole mount antennas have only a simple ground rod at the base of the pole. I have also inspected five TIS stations using the big Valcom antennas. Only one of them had an actual counterpoise. The two at D/FW Airport each had only a single chemically enhanced ground rod. Interestingly, the TIS stations with the best signals seem to be the roof mounted ones that either use an actual ground plane laid out on the roof, or the metal roof support beams, or an actual metal roof as the counterpoise. The presence of a counterpoise combined with the height of the roof mount units seems to give them superior coverage.

That is unfortunate because in the beginning of broadcasting, DXers were an integral part of the picture. They were involved in helping to let stations know how their signal was doing and a large number of the early radio listeners were de facto DXers because they simply enjoyed listening to distant stations. Stations used to actively seek out the assistance of DXers. As much as I enjoy hard core DXing, I actually spend much of my time just simply listening to distant stations just to enjoy the content. Several stations here on the East Coast come into mind. WBZ, KDKA, WSM, the NYC stations, WGY, WHAM, etc. especially when they are running local content. That to me is relaxing. I would like to think I enjoy listening to distant radio stations for listening sake and that DXing is an adjunct. I bet a lot of DXers feel the same way. That I think is the major reason I have a problem with the break down of the clear channels even though it gives DXers more targets to listen to. Although I have not been directly involved in radio with a career, I love radio broadcasting and the history of radio. For the past two years I have been writing a history of radio broadcasting in Spokane. The deeper I get into it, the more fascinating it becomes. Many radio stations had to go through a lot just to stay on the air. And of course, the intrigue is fascinating as is learning about the station personnel as people. Just recently I spoke with Art MacKelvie, one of the founders of KZUN in Opportunity, Washington. It was fun hearing his stories and his views about broadcasting. I also believe that DXers could do more to foster good relationships with radio stations. When I visit radio stations and talk with the station personnel, I sometimes detect through body language or the tone of their voice that they do not have much appreciation for DXers. It could be that some bad apples have ruined our reputation. I HATE IT. One CE told me that he threw reception reports in the trash without looking at them can as soon as he received them. It seems that one certain DXer made some unreasonable demands of him. Sure, a few station personnel may have thin skins, but what have we as DXers done to foster good relationships with stations? I think we can do more. Something to consider. Powell E. Way III W4OPW wrote: Flame wars are only good during the winter, so you can heat your house. Some DX'ers don't understand that radio stations aren't there for DX'ers just to DX.

Although that is probably what will happen, there are plausible scenarios under which KPIG could upgrade its night signal while KGA remains a Class A. With the five towers at the KGA/KJRB site, KGA has many options for modifying its night pattern to reduce radiation toward KPIG. That reduction alone, with no change in KPIG's night pattern or power, would improve KPIG's night coverage because KPIG's NIF contour is probably entirely determined by the 10% skywave that KGA delivers to the north Bay area. Remember KGA sends more than 2600 mV/m @ 1km toward KPIG. Using the existing towers, designing an array that sends only 10% of that toward KPIG would most likely allow KPIG to extend its NIF coverage to 10% of the existing NIF field intensity. And KGA could probably reduce its signal toward KPIG by a factor of more than 10 without great difficulty. No doubt, though, KPIG wants more--that is, a substantial increase in night power, which would allow further extension of its night coverage. As you probably know, KPIG has a most unusual antenna system. I believe it to be the US's only rooftop DA. In addition, one element of the five-element array is a drop-wire suspended from a cable attached to the tops of two of the four real towers. I have no clue as to how much tighter KPIG's night pattern could be made, but for KGA to remain a Class A, KPIG would have to continue limiting its night signal toward KGA. If KGA pulled in its night pattern, the limitation on KPIG's nighttime signal to the north would be relaxed because KGA's protected contour would lie much further north than it does at present. In other words, the distance from KPIG to KGA's protected contour might easily increase by a factor of three or four. That could allow a substantial increase in KPIG's night power without modification of KPIG's night pattern. If the minimum to the north could be made deeper, KPIG could increase its power further. My guess is that with the appropriate mods at KGA, KPIG might be able to increase its night power by a factor of 10 or more without forcing KGA to give up its Class A status. It's not inconceivable that KPIG could run as much as 5 kW at night without KGA having to drop to a lower class. -- Dan Strassberg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] eFax 707-215-6367 ___ 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

Anyone dis-like the idea of KGA downgrading I do. It makes a mess of the frequency. It degrades the frequency as to make DX'ing not likely. 1070 for example down here is a jumble. Even though WIBC has a super ton of RF my way it's almost never listenable to the fact that 3 other stations are there. And the 1070 in Greenville, SC even with illegal high power at night had WIBC in the background enough to cause listeners to turn off.

WIBC dominates here in upstate S.C., and was heard regularly in the Orlando area. Their 6 tower set up is easily seen along the east side of I-65, north of Indianapolis. WFLI is a weak second here and local WCSZ is never heard here at night, 16 miles NNE of Greenville, S.C. In fact, when I last checked, WCSZ was not on the air, again.!! I just checked radio-locator and it lists WCSZ as currently Off the air. .CBA was dominant in eastern NYS ( the mid Hudson Valley) with CHOK in Sarnia often heard as well as WKOK Sunbury, Pa.

Hi Joe and Bert and anyone interested,
Well I got my first ever QSO tonight. I found an AM group on 75 M, 3885
KHz,
didn't do much talking, were a bunch of old friends I guess catching up on
things. They said my signal was good, most or all were from upstate NY,
probably 300-500 miles from here. The DX-100 puts out about 130 watts on
AM.
The two big AM frequencies around here seem to be 1885 on 160 and 3885 on
75. So that was a big thrill for me, took me two months of fooling with
all
the stuff to get everything running nice, but the worst part was getting
the
antenna up in the jungle behind the house. Now I'm going to start working
on
the HW-101, is supposed to be ready to go, we'll see,
Bob

Just last night night, I got my 15 meter stick antenna
with radials tuned up and running. I still have 40 and
20 meter antenna issues, but hopfully before too long.
So when you're ready to do this, please count me in.
And I even have a QSL card made up...

(had to work early
today) and didn't want to break up a net that was in
process. I heard
someone calling CQ on 1885 AM and I tried to answer
him but forgot to switch
my transmitter from CW to mic until it was too late.
I'm going to try again
tonight either on 160 or 75 meters AM.
I bought a SS transmitter but haven't got that one
set up yet, it's a

[IRCA] WOR Towers
Hello allI was lucky enough to see the old WOR 710 NYC towers come down today...It was carried at noon as a news item on WABC Ch. 7 NYC.quite impressive.They even had a short interview with Tom Ray of WOR , one of our esteemed colleagues on these lists.. I grew up listening to WOR in the 40's and 50's. It was long the station of choice by my parentswhile I was listening to the early rock on WINS, WMCA and WABC...but for news and talk, WOR was hard to beat ,and probably still is !!. 73 ChrisK4NHLTaylors, S.C. ___ 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
