Re: [IRCA] Sort of On-Topic radio announcement...
Hey Colin: Congratulations! I too have thought about getting at least a first-level license, and here you are having accomplished it - well done! Kevin There really isn't anything hard about getting your ticket. I have an extra, here in the U.S. is the highest ticket to have. I got my ticket back when you had to do 13 and 20 wpm on CW. I found it mostly very easy. Today anyone in the U.S. can get ticket, as it is only warmed over CB radio, just sign your name and get a license. I bet that even illegal aliens can get one, just sneak across border and say ci, ci! I have had a license for 43 years.

Re: [IRCA] KYES TV Anchorage AK OT
I just heard watching the Anchorage news that TV station KYES Anchorage has filed for Chapter 11. The reason, is they only get 12 hours a day of Network programming and they have to buy the othe 12 hours and cannot afford it. They will stay on the air, but are looking at a bailout. So our economy is even affecting broadcasting. That really isn't a problem. Why not use the 12 hours of network programing and then sign off the air at midnight like TV did in the old days. You don't need Television 24/7. In fact outside of the Dallas Cowboys and TVDX, you don't need TV at all. Use to do outside sales for KOSA-7, a CBS affiliate in Odessa, TX.

Re: [IRCA] Pleasantly Plump Radios
Just have to mention that you boys don't have the foggiest idea of what aheavy radio is! Use to own the Comanche transmitter made by Radio Laboratories, now that was a heavy piece of equipment. All tubes with a power transformer that had to weigh at lease 50 lbs. The rig must have weighted at lease 100 lbs total. Had the matching receiver, the Apache, and that thing alone had to weight 50 lbs. Again all tubes and wires. My operating table was made from 4x4 planks and 3/4 in plywood. Also had the SSB converter, a unit outside the transmitter that weighted 28 lbs. Traded it all in on the Drake C line in 1973. Not to sure, but I think this equipment out weighted the R-390's. Willis Old Fort, TN Greetings everyone, Nice touch on the Extremely Heavy Radio e-mails, Bob and the group. Mine don't fall in that category, hence the Pleasantly Plump moniker. #1 is a Grundig Satellit 800 Millenium weighing in at 14-15 pounds. #2 is an Ace Type V Regenerative Receiver manufactured by the Precision Equipment Company, Powel Crossley, Jr., President. The radio itself doesn't weigh that much, but I suspect that coming up with a 200 volt DC power supply will be the back breaker. P.S. if anyone has info on how to use it, they would be forever in my gratitude. Joe -- 73 de Joe Miller, KJ8O, Troy, MI -- Grid EN82 -- -- WOW!

[IRCA] Thoughts on 500Kw watt radio stations
Why is radio against me? The other day Saul and I had a discussion about the fact that there is nothing to listen to on AM radio. AM BCB radio is pretty B-O-R-I-N-G! A person can hear just so much of Rush, and other liberal talkers, just so much country, soul and noise. However, with football season upon us, and I now have a chance to hear all my favorite teams that are not shown on television here in the Chattanooga market. I have been waiting all week to hear the University of Texas game against UTEP in El Paso, TX. You would think that the station to listen to would be WOAI-1200 as they carry all the games for UT and all the games for the Dallas Cowboys. NOT SO! Wouldn't you know, on 1200, of all the times to _CHEAT_ WJES would have to be on from out of South Carolina, with some type of crappy music. A 10Kw daytimer has to pick tonight to cheat! Haven't heard from them in over 4 months, but tonight of all nights they have to cheat! So, I tune around and find that ESPN is playing the Texas game on WMVP-1000 from Chicago. GREAT! I say to myself. But that is short lived as XEEP from Mexico is fading in and out on top of them and there is a strong het on 999. All of this would normally be fine, BUT WHY NOW? What this shows to me is, there needs to be a few, not many, 500,000 watt stations located around the country -- as there was in the mid 30's. The stronger power would make it possible to over come foreign QRM, propagation conditions and semi-local cheaters. Wouldn't need but maybe 6 stations all total. Stations I think that would make good 500Kw broadcasters. Based on program format and location. WOAI-1200 San Antonio, TX. WLW-700 Cincinnati, OH WMVP-1000 Chicago, IL WBAP-820 Ft. Worth, TX KYW-1060 Philadelphia, PA or WPHT-1210 Philadelphia WBZ-1030 Boston, MA WSB-750 Atlanta, GA KFI-640 Los Angeles, CA KNBR-680 San Francisco, CA KSL-1160 Salt Lake City, UT WLAC-1510 Nashville, TN WAQM-560 Miami, FL This is just a list, other stations might do a better job with programming, etc., than what I have listed here. PLEASE, do not write me with dumb comments like, Why don't you get satellite radio? or Buy cable television or Get Direct TV I do not have money for such luxuries nor are they available to people who live this area.

Re: [IRCA] Trans-World Radio 800Kc
I had a conversation today with Jim Munger with Trans Radio Radio, he replied they are in fact running a 100kw transmitter in Bonaire.

[IRCA] WDOD-1310 format change
Well I guess it had to happen. WDOD 1310, Chattanooga, TN has changed formats. Seems like every time a station comes up with anything good, it won't be long before they will self-destruct themselves. Twenty years ago, they were Music of your life format. Then they tried airing Air America and that went over like a lead baloone. Then they tried local events and sports, mixed with MOYL music, and that was OK, but did not play well with locals. Then it was Ruby 1301. NOW that was the right format for this market. That was good for about 2 years, till today. Today, 29 August 2008, at 1630 EWT, I tuned in to find they have hit rock bottom for music. They were 'Ruby 1310' and now they call themselves The true oldies channel- Labor day weekend oldies playing the worst of the worst. Slowly but sure the local radio market is marching farther into hell! In the Chattanooga, TN market, there is no reason left to even own a radio.

[IRCA] CW on 1360 over WSAI
At 2315 I have CW on 1360Kc. This is the same type of CW that gets reported around this time each year. But normally it's in the 1000 to 1150Kc range. This is the first time I have had this high in the band. The CW is very slow and is not of the international morse type nor is it of the old contental type. Just dots and dashes that doesn't make much sense. At times it is over WSAI from Cincinnati, OH. Surely, if it was an image from a ham it would still follow the international morse code, wouldn't it?

Re: [IRCA] Recemtly
Let me get my two cents in on this thread. I am about 150 miles south of WIRV. I hear them at lease once or twice a month here in Old Fort, TN, and they do run day power sometimes at night. Not always. They use to be in here every night, and I do believe they have gotten a handle on what ever was their problem, as they use to be nightly visitor here. Now only at times. My major 1550 stations is the one out of Tampa, FL area in Spanish. The station that Castro loves to jam. I can hear the jammer almost nightly. Thank you for your time, Willis Old Fort, TN I would guess WIRV has been running day power at night for at least 5 or 6 years. I used to hear them on all my business trips to Atlanta back in 2002-2004. 73 Tim Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Hi all !! I've been noticing WIRV 1550 Irvine, Ky.listed as 5 watts at nightbut probably on day power of 1000 watts.I've been able to hear them five nights in a row here in The Upstate of So. Carolina. They ID as The Tri City AM network .have a three city ID with WEKY 1340 Richmond, Ky. and WKXO 1500 in Berea, Ky., a daytimer. Format is canned/satellite oldies. They all ID frequently. I remember driving thru the area on I-75, south of Lexington and hearing each of them. One of them had terrible sounding phone line audio. ..Also. I've been hearing an open carrier on 1090 at night latelywhich is a very open frequency here. Nobody dominant...occasional WBAL or KAAY.

Re: [IRCA] UNID CW Station on 1060
I'm hearing a station playing country music (today's new hit country) on 1060 tonight, presumably a satellite-fed daytimer on late. No local content heard, and at 2300 EDT there was dead air where the ID insert should've been. This is definitely not CKMX, and is probably not one of the stations that simulcasts an FM. That leaves WKNG in GA as a prime suspect, but there are a few other possibilities. Anybody else hearing this one? I am not hearing any CW. But on 1060, I do hear WLON, mixed with what I think is XEEP playing classic jazz and a station in a lingo that might be French. Tis evening I have a southern enhancement with lots of stations from Cuba, Mexico and who knows where else. KYW just poped up out of nowhere and faded. But no CW.

Hey Willis, just curious. Waylon Willie originally recorded this song-Luckenbach, Texas. It's about a yearly gathering taking place in that town-in the Fredericksburg/Kerrville area. Is Merle joining Willie for a new version or did you just mix him up with Waylon? Don- Please forgive. That was the worse written report I believe I have ever sent.

Re: [IRCA] WGIV-1370
One wonders here. WGIV has been a frequent abuser in the past. Yes, they have, however, they have been VERY good in the past year. I haven't heard them in a while at night. they're 16 kw days Yes, they are listed as 16kw. I don't think you'd have much QSB at your distance and they'd be a major presence on the channel if full day power. Not totally true. WSB-750 is about the same distance from me. They run 50kw and do get VERY DEEP fads with them. WGIV is a station that is just not heard here on repeated basis. They have been heard for the past 6 nights, even into 0300 and later. I think that some one just for to throw the switch. Kaz, you been AM BCB DXing a long time. I think you know how to tell when a station is on day power or not. Here we have WDEF just to the south of me and WCAO down in Florida, they dominate the frequency, when WGIV is on daypower they will fade. BUT, last night there was a lot QSB all over the band. The F layer must have been active. Also, I wish there was a way with e-mail to really describe what is heard, as far as a decription of propagation conditions are concerned. 73's Willis Old Fort, TN It's certainly possible at your distance to have them fade in and out using 45 watts. But if you continue to note them strong for a few nights, one can certainly suspect something is amiss. Willis's post is well written here !! As he simply suggests that they may be on day power, rather than saying gotta be cheating ! my reply is to suggest that I think if on day power they'd be all over the freq at Willis' distance and that my experience indicates stations can get out on low power, but don't dominate crowded regional in general, even when using phased Bev-type antennas. 73 KAZ ___ 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] WKSR-1420
Just a small correction and a few notes. The stations slogan is actually Rocky 1420 AM Sorry, it's hard to not make typos when your blind. Secondly, the station runs few, if any commercials because the FM does so well andf helps pay for the AM which has v ery low overhead because there are NO live announcers, locallyon WKSR-AM. They are a regular here. Just strong enough to mess up the channel for real DX.

Re: [IRCA] Don't know when I'm at
Well folks, I feel real sorry for you'all up there in the north country. Here in southeastern Tennessee it was around 75 degrees and muggy. The grass is way ahead of me cutting it, about a foot tall and it will be raining all weekend long. In fact, it is POURING, as I write. But, We have had 3 great days in a row. Can not start a garden until late April as a freaky freeze will always destroy it. Patrick, I use to do the same thing, take long walks down the beach in Norfolk, VA. The wife and I had an apartment right at the Chesapeak. When I was stationed in Charleston, SC we lived on Sulluvans Island and also spent a lot of time at the beach. All this was in 1964 and 1965. Don K. When I was stationed on Treasure Island I fought out about San Francisco weather. With the wind from the Golden Gate blowing across the Bay, it was cold, but in Oakland it was hot. So when I could I went into wine country and after a while I didn't care what the temperture was. :)) 73's Willis Old Fort, TN ___ 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] Canadian QSLs
Even though I started collecting QSLs at 15 in 1965, just shortly before I turned 16, Your so young!! some I have are from the 40s 50s. I was given a collection by the wife of W5CPW, of his QSL's from stations he worked in 1928 to 1941. Major portion are 80 meter CW. Dick Weeks died in 1985 just 3 weeks after retiring. I love to look back on so many neat old QSL cards from the past. They do bring back, most times, good memories. My QSL from the BBC dated in 1960 has picture of Big Ben and parliment on it. I have walked across the bring in the picture and we walked up past Big Ben and had tour of the BBC that afternoon. This was in June 1967. Not only are they good for memories, they are good for remembering history, which so many today seem not to care about. 73's Willis ___ 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] Canadian QSLs
I was just thinking back to my misspent DX youth. I QSLed 4 Canadian stations, CKMP-1230, CKBW-1000, CBL-740, and CBA. The CBL CBA cards are the only two CBC cards I have. Maybe I should hold on to all four of them, as all four of those stations are now dark. Perhaps someday they'll be valuable. Ha! Dear David- You should hang on to _ALL_ QSL's no matter where or why they are from!! I have QSL's from the early 50's that I would never throw away, even though the stations are long gone, as well as their owners. As far as value goes, they are already valuble, to you, I hope. BTW- I also QSL's from CBL and CBA as well as CBM and CBK. 73's Willis ___ 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] Country music on 1120
RY I heard some country music on 1120 last night (shortly after turning off my computer for the night). The bearing on my loop antenna was towards the southeast so either the Pennsylvania or North Carolina stations are both possibilities. I stress the word possibilities because the 2006 NRC directory shows both as daytimers, but nothing else even seems to come close. Was able to somewhat null KMOX, but not completely, making this logging extra difficult to hear. Joe- Betch'a it's -- 1120 WKQW OIL CITY PA 1000 - NDA CL.

[IRCA] 3 great reasons to won a radio
With all the arguing and bitch'n going on, I thought I would post something HAPPY and hope to change the mood of the group. It is now a great time of the year to listening to the radio. It is baseball season and the program material has just risen to it's highest level possible. THREE GREAT REASONS TO OWN A RADIO 1. DX 2. Baseball games 3. CHWO AM 740, Toronto, Ontario I am listening to WFAN-660 New York and they have baseball! ESPN has begun to play baseball and they sound even better than ever. I love this time of year as boringball is going away and the 'boys of the summer' return. Baseball is second best reason to own a radio! Then count in CHWO-740 add you never need to have a TV. What more can a person want out of life!

Re: [IRCA] 3 great reasons to won a radio
WFAN for me is often not very listenable. Now WLW is. I wish WLAC had the Braves... Now that would be great! I second the montion! I would be happy if WSB-750 would get the braves back. But, I do have two good stations for the Braves. WYYU-FM in Dalton, GA and WCLE-FM in Cleveland, TN, so the Braves are covered. KDKA still carries the Pirates and has a good signal in here, WLW has the Reds, WGN does a good job into here with Cubs, and there are other stations all over the south with baseball. Even WTAW-1620 has Texas AM baseball. Powell it is everywhere!

Re: [IRCA] 3 great reasons to own a radio
Patrick wrote- Gee, where do I start? Education, as when I was in college I wrote Radio Moscow about the czars in Russia as I did a term paper on the subject. I received a nice 4 page single spaced typed letter giving me a lot of history on the subject. I got an A in the course. Much of the knowledge I have received over the years was from radio. Today, radio, and worldwide satellite, radio TV. Pat, I also wrote Radio Moscow in 1959. I got a great QSL and, as I requested, a nice bag of used Russian stamps. I still have both. Many of us cannot afford to travel worldwide. Listening to stations all over is a real treat. Be it Hohhot, China; Shillong India, or Cebu Philippines. Then to top it off, getting the QSL from the station. I listened to SW and AM in the late 50's and wanted to travel. So I joined the navy, and all I got to see was the sea. Been to a lot of countries and on ham radio worked a few, (Have QSLs from only 135 that I worked on 40 CW, all from Texas. Add to that, all of the enjoyment I have received listening to all of the music from around the world. That alone has changed my interest in music. Often, I will record hours of pop music from different stations and listen to them in the van. Driving on trips, I have listened to tapes of FM 94 Bangkok, FM 96 Oaxaca, and others. I use to record on a reel to reel, but when the first wife left me, she destroyed all the tapes and I have never seen the recorded again. But at lease it is worth it, I don't have to see her. I could go on and on, but radio has really had a huge effect n my life. I learned radio repair in my teens, and this helped me into Radar A school in the navy. Yes, radio has been a big help to me in my well as a lot fun. 73's Willis ___ 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
