[IRCA] New verie KRLV-1340 Las Vegas NV

[martinfoltz]

Received an email verifying my reception in 2 days from CE Bill Croghan. Said 
they were running 900 watts. Only heard for 30 seconds so didn't expect a 
verie. Just wanted to let the CE know I finally hear KRLV. Bill is very DXer 
friendly. I think I have 5 veries from him.

GY verie #33.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] RIP DX Tests (was: Re: Rackley on Synchronous AM Boosters)

[martinfoltz]

I'm commenting on this late. Many DXers will try to hear a DX test but most 
DXers today don't collect QSLs. So hearing a DX test is still a thrill for many 
without the QSL. It's  just the change in the broadcasting industry, no more 
requirement for a Proof of Performance test.  Most station are on 24 hours now 
so they have to interrupt programming for a test. Frequency checks went away 
too. I wasn't active in the hobby when that happened but suspect another 
requirement was dismissed during the deregulation of radio.

I've received email veries from a couple CEs that mentioned they moved the 
antenna or were working on their ground systems. I mentioned the hobby would be 
interested if any testing was done. The CEs seem too busy with their workload. 
Wish it was easier to schedule DX tests.

Don't kill DX Tests but I can't see them being a big part of the hobby anymore.

My daughter lives in Kona. They have a noise problem there. Close power lines

Congratulations Tim.

Michigan is a very good place for DXing. I was born there and listened from 
1972-1983. I heard DE on a DX test on 900 kHz. Unfortunately DX Tests are gone 
now.

Hope to read about #2500 in the future.

Nice Jim. I grew up in Lansing and remember the Grand Rapids stations. My old

QSLs. I might write for one next time I'm back visiting.

Keep reporting the QSLs. We don't see too many anymore.

Re: [IRCA] New verie

[martinfoltz]

Thanks Mike, probably my best GY catch. I only heard five 30 second ads just 
before ToH. Then they faded just before ID. Listened on the Sony Walkman so no 
recording. I did write down notes because it seemed different. Glad I did. 
Research on an area code from one ad and an address from another pointed to 
Klamath Falls OR.

I've been hearing CBS Sports Radio programming occasionally for maybe 2-3 
minutes and thought it was KLOA Ridgecrest. After this, I see KRJW is CBS 
Sports so it looks like no KLOA. Glad I didn't assume it and add it to the log.

Re: [IRCA] My First TP AM DX Logs!

Paul,

You should try the National Weather Service stations on 4125 kHz USB. I think 
there are 6 stations in Alaska.
The USCG station in Kodiak (NOJ) has some voice broadcasts and several digital 
broadcasts (NAVTEX on 518 kHz, FAX).

[IRCA] KYOS 1480 Merced CA

[martinfoltz]

This is from my recent KYOS email verie. I sent the CE an email and mentioned 
we would be interested if he built the tower and did some testing.

Martin

You may also be interested in knowing that KYOS has been on the air since 1936. 
 Just after World War II, it moved to a transmitter site on Old Lake Rd.  At 
that time, copper was very scarce, so they made the copper ground radials for 
the 3 tower array out of copper covered steel.  Larry and I both have always 
thought that those ground radials were probably rusted through and long gone.  
We had a lot of trouble with our pattern.
 
About 2 years ago, we lost the property that we were located on and moved the 
station to a single tower.  Instead of 5,000 watts full time, we now operate at 
4,700 watts day power and 1,200 watts night power.  We have a construction 
permit to add an additional tower.  Hopefully, we will have that built soon.

The latest email from Bill Croghan. Doesn't look like a DX test but I'm sure he 
would appreciate some reports on their stations (1230, 1340, 1100 are mentioned 
but they're also on 920 and 1460).

http://www.lotuscorp.com/ourstations.asp

Bill's email is loteng (at) lvradio.com

Martin

"Martin, 
Thanks,  I doubt I'll have time to do a specific DX test like I used to 
in the 
"old" days but there is still work being done out there between now and the 
first of the year.  Mostly some fine tuning of the band width since we have put 
the 1230 and our 1340 on a tower in our 1100 pattern, and have a 1280 and 1400 
just about 100 yards away from some others.  Mark Mueller has done a great job 
of the combiners and filters, but there are some bandwidth issues he will be 
working on between now and Christmas.  I'll try to let you know when we will be 
doing them. 
For fun, see if you can get the 1230, 1340 (both 1 KW non directional 
mostly 
Full time and the 1100 which is 20 KW days, 2KW nights, both highly 
directional.  
The next door 128o and 1400 are Non Directional.  I forget the power of those 
two, but one is 5 KW Days. 
 
Bill "

Just received this from Bill Croghan at Lotus Las Vegas. I have a recording on

a former IRCA member. - Martin

We have recently (Last week) moved the KLAV transmitter from a poor site to one 
with a vastly superior ground system.  I'd be interested in before and after 
reports on signal reception.  The move was made basically on the 11th and has 
been on the new site since.  Same power etc.

Re: [IRCA] Navtex

[martinfoltz]

Hi Chris, took a while to respond. I haven't had the radio and SeaTTY running 
in a while.

Open the Help tab and open Contents to read about the AFC settings.

I use a tube receiver that drifts some so I will have wider settings. The AFC 
basically lets the cursors search for the signal. Bigger number means it can 
move further from the set frequency. AFC Global is the one that you want to let 
roam a bit. You'll have to play with it and see how it works on your receiver.

I don't use SQL but it acts like a noise filter.
The NORMAL has some applications but I have rarely used it, only on RTTY where 
I was tuned high in frequency.

Listening to 518 kHz is fun. I've heard NMO, NMC, NMW, NMQ, NMG, NME, VAJ, VAE, 
NOJ.
You can also tune in to shortwave frequencies and copy their weather broadcasts.

Have fun!

Martin

KLAV-1230 Las Vegas is heard almost nightly here. It's in and out so hard to

The CE was a former DXer. 1340 is also a Lotus station but I haven't heard them

[IRCA] KBOV-1230 Bishop CA format change

[martinfoltz]

Wendy and I were in Bishop hiking this past week and I noted KBOV with a new 
format and slogan.
Now Classic Hits, ex-oldies. Slogan is also Classic Hits followed by various 
endings like KBOV 12-30, AM 12-30 or Radio.

Format sounds like 1970's Top 40 hits.

Re: [IRCA] DXing the Western US [ Grandpa, DON'T Tell Me About the Good Ole Days ]

[martinfoltz]

Les, in the fall you should look for High School football. There was a list a 
few years ago, maybe on ABDX. Might have been Tim Hall who put it together. 
That list will give you some possible Friday night targets in the fall. I've 
heard a few of them.

Can't help much since I'm on the west coast and reception is different here. 
Know the station formats on all the frequencies and scan them nightly looking 
for something different that might be a station running day power at night. I 
hear a few new stations each year with this method. And watch the email lists 
for posts by others on stations running day power at night.

 I'm tied up this weekend but will be adding a couple replies to this thread. 
 All I'll say now is to use modern tech for best results.
 
 1) SDR to record the entire band (or a good chunk of it)
 
 2) You want to receive to the west, so use an antenna system that nulls the 
 east.
 
 3) Wait for fall. Trying SSS to the west anytime in the summer prior to late 
 Aug isn't likely to get you much difficult.
 
 4) You don't need GeoClock, but have the sunset grid maps is certainly useful 
 as they'll tell you the boundaries between the 15 minute sunset power switch 
 times.

[IRCA] UNID 1230 Rodeo Country 96.9

country station.

Station mentioned Rodeo 96.9 and 90's Country. Couldn't find anything on an

Any help appreciated. These are not: KSZL, KPRL, KYPA. I've heard them with

Re: [IRCA] Of AM Translators and LPFM Stations

[martinfoltz]

I don't see what they are fixing by adding LPFM stations. The AM band will 
remain the same. The addition of a LPFM station will keep more AM stations on 
the air that would go out of business. You're right Les, the FM band will 
suffer. I think the fix for AM is to increase powers to overcome noise, get rid 
of IBOC and figure out a way to reduce the number of stations. Stations will 
need to have programming that attracts listeners and make it available on the 
Internet and Phones. Eventually Internet and Phones will dominate and they can 
turn off their AM station. Remember, a radio station is in business to make 
money by advertising during programming that has an audience. AM radio is one 
of the ways to deliver their programming and it might not be their best long 
term mode of delivery.

I'm with my grandkids and my grandson just asked me if I brought my radio. He 
pointed to his Tablet and said this is what we use for entertainment now.

 Like many AM DX'ers I've been following the recent FCC filing period 
 concerning the future of AM Radio with great interest. One band-aid 
 solution that seems to have great favor with broadcasters is that of 
 allowing stations to apply for FM translators to cover their primary 
 service area, especially at night.
 
 The economic advantages of that are obvious, but I really wonder where 
 all this spectrum is going to come from. I live just outside of a small 
 city, Birmingham, and last Christmas I had a very difficult time finding 
 a clear spot where I could broadcast my Christmas lights display music. 
 This due to the addition of a couple of new translators and a LPFM station.
 
 I've been reading that we have a new LPFM coming on the air this summer 
 on 99.1 FM (www.aphradio.org). Most cities that I have visited in the US 
 are in similar circumstances. I just don't see how many AM stations 
 could add translators without the FM band quickly becoming a crowded 
 mess like the AM band.
 
 What am I missing?

 Large accumulations of paper (such as saving 70-plus years of NRC bulletins 
 or major collections of QSL cards and letters) take up a substantial amount 
 of storage space ... 
 
 NRC and WTFDA are saving historic copies of club bulletins on the web, but 
 those projects scratch the surface in comparison to what David Gleason is 
 doing to make historic radio and television publications available for a 
 couple of key clicks.
 
 Might there be some dedicated hobbyist inclined to establish an indexable 
 Internet clearing house for scanned QSL card and letter collections? Letters, 
 to me, are more fun that cards, if they're personalized.
 
 We wouldn't have to fly to Minnesota or Maryland to view the collection, heh, 
 heh!

Re: [IRCA] QSL archival -was- Re: [NRC-AM] More on mergers

[martinfoltz]

My children and grandchildren won't want my small QSL collection (around 900 
stations). It's a mix of MW (400+), FM (40+), SWBC (250+) and utility stations 
(225+). I still collect QSLs so the collection will grow. Probably only a few 
rare ones in there. I do scan them all in so that I have duplication in case 
the originals are lost.

I would be interested in an alternative location to donate them in the future 
but I would also like to see collections on-line from the early years to 
present. It's great that there is an archive but I'm in CA and will probably 
never go to MD to see the collection that they have.

 I'd like to start a thread about verification archival, if I may,
 which I suppose is somewhat distantly related to the merger thread.
 I was around in the 1960's and actually still have some of the
 material that circulated by mail back then. But that's not why
 I write now.

Thanks Glenn,

I did a web search and found they are part of Group Mi Radio, 
www.grupomiradio.mx. The website confirms the La Consentida slogan.

 ** MEXICO. [Re 1470, ``La Consentida``] 
 Well, I`m sticking with XEHI = Consentida, as that`s the
 very active identity currently on FB: https://www.facebook.com/XEHI1470
 Dixionary definition of which is over-indulged or spoilt,
 hardly something positive. In DXLD 13-36, Henrik Klemetz
 said words like consentida imply mistress (Glenn Hauser, OK,
 WORLD OF RADIO 1702, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
 
 You were misinformed about the meaning of consentida. It means the favorite 
 one, the favored one, or the preferred one. The meanings you were given 
 derive from the basic meaning, for example, the teacher's pet is la 
 consentida del maestro, a child is spoiled because she is la consentida of 
 her parents. (Even then, it means more pampered than spoiled). There is 
 nothing risqu? about the word. It has nothing to do with mistress unless 
 the man prefers the mistress to his wife (Shondir Burns, Jan 4, DX LISTENING 
 DIGEST)

Re: [IRCA] KXOL 1660 Utah

[martinfoltz]

KFOX is Korean. I've heard El Paso but not Denver from here in OC.

I haven't listened to 1660 lately but it was usually KXOL or Merced CA.

Re: [IRCA] What's your closest unheard AM station?

[martinfoltz]

Dennis,

My closest unheard is only 29.2 miles away. I have only 13 stations in Southern 
California that I haven't heard. There are also 3 that I haven't heard since I 
lived in Newport Beach, about 15 miles from here. This covers the 10 counties 
in the south up to Kern. 118 active stations according to my list.

1220 KWKU Pomona 29.2 miles (heard in Newport Beach)
1320 KSDT Hemet 39.7 miles
1590 KRSX Victorville 67.8 miles (heard in Newport Beach)
1400 KESQ Indio 81.7 miles
910 KOXR Oxnard 96.0 miles

The remainder are all between 100 and 200 miles away.

 Hello,
 
 My closest unheard AM station is KIHR 1340 Hood River, OR.
 55 miles up the Columbia river.  Local IBOC station KKPZ
 1340 puts out moderate hash on 1340.  I tried the KIWA loop
 today, but could not cut the hash.  With the u-shaped fence antenna
  faint audio can be heard.  Around sunset KTSN is usually heard from
 Elko, NV.  KIHR  KKEE 1230 Astoria, OR (65 miles) might take
  months to log.  Have spent abut 8 hours listening for KKEE.  Local 
 KSZN 1230 Gresham, OR (18 miles) can be nulled, but KHSN
 Coos Bay, OR (179 miles) pops up.  
 
 In would be interesting to find out if any DXers have a unheard
 station under 55 miles.
 
 Dennis,
 Salmon Creek, WA
