[IRCA] 710 + Cuba + IBOC = Mess
WOR's Tom Ray is complaining about interference from Cuba. Has anyone heard this station? Is it using the Rebelde xmtr or is Rebelde still being heard? Don't the Cuban authorities know that 710 and neighbouring frequencies are pretty much a dog's breakfast even without their help? For full story: http://www.rwonline.com/rwi_news From Radio World International Newsbytes ... Is Cuba Interfering With U.S. Broadcasts? 8.19.2008 From last week's The Leslie Report — WOR's Tom Ray says a Cuban station on 710 kHz is shooting a powerful nighttime signal up the eastern seaboard and interfering with his New York AM station and possibly others. The Cuban station is broadcasting American music, with a Spanish-speaking DJ and no ID, says Tom, who is also a Radio World contributor. How does he know where the signal originates? The FCC used monitoring stations around the country, and located the source of the transmitter in Cuba, according to Ray. In Utica, N.Y., this Cuban station had a local-grade signal. An FCC source told Tom he estimated the station is pushing at least 500,000 watts (and possibly up to a million) up the coast. Ray also believes the agency's hands are tied on this one by the State Department. ... story continues, click on link above. -30- ___ 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] Scandinavian AM News
The latest print copy of Radio World has several newsbytes TA AM DXers should note. The summaries are mine: * The Swedish government has asked its broadcast regulator to evaluate interest in the operation of local commercial stations on AM. There is already some interest being expressed by a private company. * The Faroe Islands parliament has approved state funding to purchase two 50KW transmitters to replace a single 200KW one on 531. Energy costs have risen, and the tube has failed often, putting the station off-air. They tried a second-hand tube but it proved unsuitable. The two transmitters will apparently both run on 531 and the standard operational power will be 50KW but may rise to 100K by adding the second transmitter whenever appropriate. They're also looking to upgrade FM signals to manage remote area reception. To be honest, I'm not quite understanding how a second transmitter can increase the overall power from 50 to 100KW. * A Danish item mentions 234 longwave in Kalundborg, at 300 KW. I'm not sure I understand the following - an actual transcript from the copy: The transmitter has a power of 300 KW. Broadcasting on 234 KHz, public service broadcaster Danmarks Radio (DR) has used the station around the clock for its national Program 1 service. Though, as part of budget-saving measures, it is switched on only for special transmissions, DR is determined to continue renting the location for the next five years. I don't know how 'around the clock' can equate to 'only for special transmissions'...

[IRCA] ULR ultralight radio scores on FM
Gary and all other ULR Radio FANatics will be pleased to know I logged a couple distrant statiooons on E-skip on FM with the Sony SRF59 on June 4. From Burnt River ON. One of these, a station in Topeka KS on 100.3, is a new catch, and was a shock because I have a strong semi-local in Barrie ON on 100.3 I was unable to null with 'higher-end' equipment.

[IRCA] 920 CJCH Halifax NS moving to FM

[IRCA] West Coast to Maine (and such phenomenae)
Is it possible that the signal was somehow distorted in its relatively lengthy route to your radios on the west coast, and that the speed of the code seemed different? The time of this test was possibly optimum for the west coast. Every report I've seen of DXpeditions on the northern east coast (NB, NF) suggests receptions to western Canada and nw U.S. just before local (east coast) sunrise. I had the same experience in NFLD last month...1700 just before sunrise, also 1050 and 1290 in MB... and Jim Renfrew had a tentative 1000 in Seattle around the same time frame. The DXers at Miscou have often had BC and AB stations, like this. This phenomenon strikes me as almost as interesting as pulling in Europe, Asia and Africa, and also makes me wonder if the right antennae - direction-wise etc - would make the coastal Canadian maritimes ripe for logging trans-pacifics and down under. I hope to go again, and I hope to set up some experimental wires. --- Steve Ratzlaff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I wasn't able to participate in the test, but I've listened to both Bill's and Barry's audio clips of the morse code--transcription follows: WCXH WCXH WCHX MONTICELLO, MAINE WCXH WCXH WCXH (14 upward-sweep tones follow the code) Note the third code group is an erroneous transposition of the station callsign! The speed indeed is slow--one could write the dots and dashes down and then decipher them afterwards with a code table, even if one didn't know the code, at that slow speed. LF NDB's use similar slow code for that very reason--the pilot can copy the dots and dashes and look up the ident if he really wants to verify the signal on a particular frequency is the one he's expecting. The use of a comma (dah dah di di dah dah) following the city is not often heard. I used to copy the merchant marine press broadcasts sent to ships at sea--since the copy being broadcast was machine-generated, it used all the various morse code punctuation characters--parentheses, semicolons, etc. Most of those characters would only be heard on those press broadcasts and nowhere else.

[IRCA] Rebelde and/or RCH on 530?
...I'm still reading the 630.??? Rebelde RNV thread, but I have also noticed Rebelde the dominant station at times on 530 this fall, whereas last season it was Radio Cadena Habana. I'm noticing the same with various reports, but also reading reports here that offer information that strikes me as conflicting. Are there two Cubans using 530 or does it appear to be one signal, perhaps RCH switching to rebelde on a fairly frequent basis (at least at night)? Saul I've been hearing Radio Cadena Habana on 530 kHz most every evening for about a week now. I hear something under their signal, probably TC. Since I don't speak Spanish, I'll take your word for it! The two stations sound a lot alike, but TC preaches sometimes, because it is Christian. No doubt the Cuba station is on the air to jam the TC Christian station. Bruce, It's Radio Rebelde set up to jam Marti (when it's on the frequency). You'll note that Rebelde runs a more dense level of modulation than the other nets (especially Reloj). Thi serves to jam the station to be blocked.

[IRCA] New north-south wires rock
...yes, wires in the plural. I added a second short one. Yesterday's wire, 300 feet or so going ever slightly NNW, performed very well, yielding WADC WV on 1050 during SSS and then this morning a tentative on WOAY 860 in WV, both beneath strong semilocals in Toronto. I decided to run a wire to the south - and it pretty well does go south (without checkin an actual compass, I'm going on my sense of direction here). Anyhow, I decided to stick with NNW to start, and SSS yielded a solid ID on WOAY and a station that is a bit close but has been eluding me and much wanted despite many attempts at it - WPYT 660 in PA with a great ID. I've since been switching back and forth between the two wires. Lots of Cubans and some suspected Venezuela and Mexico. I have had a het on 630 suggesting what appears to be the off-frequency venezuelan on 631.26+. Not strong enough for audio. So three new catches in two SSS sessions, plus lots I didn't get to ID.

[IRCA] The Truth Behind Radio Coro (was 780 DX TEST)
Far as I know -- and please correct me with specifics because I would need Cuba on 780 - there is no Cuban on 780. But there is a strong Venezuelan that goes by the name of Radio Coro. And here, I think, is the root of the confusion. Despite the mutual sympathies between Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, the name Radio Coro precedes the advent of Chavez, and is - sadly - not in tribute to our esteemed Cuban DX colleague and friend Arnie Coro of Radio Habana Cuba. Though it could be argued that a station bearing his namesake would be a fitting tribute to someone who has served radio afficionados the world over. My guess is that you heard the Venezuelan Coro (99 percent certainty here), or possibly something else (the one percent factor). Some have reported a tentative Mexico in the mix. The Mexican were up last night for about an hour or two, here in Ontario, but 780 wasn't among them. Regardless, Radio Coro is a cat-in-the-bag phenomenon. It is the easiest Venezuelan in these parts (so is Erre Q on 910 but you might have Flint MI to deal with) when cx are even slightly auroral. Lively Latin music, usually, and frequent IDs.

[IRCA] Gettin' wired...
Had some wire and spare time this afternoon. So, inspired by recent DX in Newfoundland, I installed a new unterminated BOG, going NNW. (I can't go precisely north from here because I'd have to go through a neighbour's cottage or over his driveway). I will see tonight how it fares given the earth's curvature. It's the straightest yet of all my wires though it's only about 300-350 feet. My neighbour to the south has offered me access there, so I may put a second one, and that one would be more accurately south, maybe a slight slight bit west. So I'm hoping for some auroral cx tonight to put this one to the test. Saul Burnt River ON Never miss a thing.

[IRCA] South wire logging
So far the new wire has paid off, though I have no proof of directionality. At first it seemed better than my other three at WI and IA in the X-band, which kinda surprised me. But over course of the evning I have logged Jacksonville FL 690, Cuba strong 770 670, PA dominant on many regional channels where normally others are (eg WRSC 1390 PA instead of Youngstown or Syracuse NY). But what's made it all worthwhile so far is a new log in a solid TOH legal ID from WACD Parkersburg WV. The Toronto-NYC one-two knockout punch on 1050 has been pretty much a non-starter here, but with CHUM running an infomercial, a third station was popping in with some oldie tunes. Th ID happened during a signal upswing and for awhile WACD was dominant. But the south isn't always winning. 1630 is all IA so far, not a trace of GA. I'll lay a second wire to the south tomorrow and compare. I'll be able to get a slighly different angle. Saul Burnt River ON Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail.

[IRCA] DX test results
It was great to log it. The quality of the signal seemed to improve as time went on. I didn't hear anything at all in the first ten minutes (did it start late?) and when I returned from the computer and refrigerator by 20 past I was hearing weak sweeps. Towards the end I was able to ID the morse code calls letters (maybe more ccode than that, not sure), and I even heard suspect music. I didn't tape it, because I don't collect QSLs, and I couldn't name the tunes if my receiver's continued performance depended on it. But one piece sounded like the kind of marching music I'd hear in a very bad movie about a highschool football team. Another sounded like something I used to hear on Channel 7 from Buffalo growing up (rapid fire, excited kind of music). But I heard no discernable voice whatsoever. Nor did I hear the UI music that Bill Harms heard as a fourth station. But that might be because I haven't a clue what UI music is... What I can say, overall, is that what made my morning is reading that Pat Martin in Oregon managed to hear code (and maybe more?). This was never a killer signal here, and that it skipped out to the west coast is simply awesome, and an insipration to me as I work here to organize some tests.

[IRCA] Good Latins (and Paul Harvey 860 thank you)
Thank you to those with suggestions about my Paul harvey promo-IDs on 860.I am sure I eard PAUL Harvey, but Niel Wolfish tossed cold water on this by remnding me that WAMO in PA has a STEVE Harvey as a morning host. The AL station would most likely have had to be on day power and pattern for me to have heard them. So I see that as a long shot and will dump this unID. I should have taped it to listen-back, but didn't get my tape recorder out till tonight. Anyhow, I've logged a very weak and momentary bit of reloj in Cuba on 930 for a new catch. Had them in Toronto awhile ago. Cuba strong in various places from 1180 on down, venezuela and Mexico also noted, and hets from Algeria 891 and Spain/Canary 621 are as strong as they probably get here without producing audio. I'm sure if I sat on them... Tried for the Clemson game from SC on 1270 reported on one of these lists by a DE DXer but the only sports station there is megapest Detroit. 1450 WMAJ at SSS the other new catch here tonight.

[IRCA] Longwave - Dom Rep 450 and mystery around 448 (cx Au)
450 LW beacon BEHIND Dominican Republic. I have nobody listed in my various paper lists, but someone is poking through behind 450 PPA in La Plata. Actually, this second station is noted on 447 USB and is fighting for its life. La Plata is much stronger than normal, but my unID is very weak and I'll bet it is 448. I've made out G and Z as among the letters. Some lightning crashes hindering things further. Not much going on E-W with the LW beacons, but have heard GA and NC ones with decent signals, suggesting mildly auroral conditions. Some Cubans and Venezuelans in, but nothing notable in terms of signal strengths. I have a tentative on 910 in Valdosta GA earlier. I've heard it lots in the past few years.

I had a great if very brief signal from Albania around 1700 on 1395, and TWR Roumoules 1467 also was solid though weaker a few minutes later. Lots of hets, all over the band. 1620 Radio Soleil, one of the Boston haitian pirates with heavily-accented French and Radio Soleil ID around 1730-1800, mixing with a new NY State Highway advisory station that's been testing of late. I've previously hard Energie; and soleil is new. Poughkeepsie NY WKIP on 1450, plus an ID a bit afterwards that sounded like 1450 WSL. Definitely not WOL in washington. I think a letter got mangled over the air, and my guess is the New hampshire station (I was on my east wire), but I will try again. Conditions seem very close in. Not much to the west at all tonight. I have yet to check the AK indices...but I do wonder if a bit of aurora is creeping in. Saul Burnt River ON Never miss a thing.

[IRCA] Questions re 506 kHz, experimental stations
I've heard Wayland MA WE2XGR/1 506 KHz the past few nights with a killer signal. I have actually copied several similar stations on 506, including one with the same calls but /6. I have also had a few variations outside those parameters. * What are these stations, and is there a comprehensive list of who's who? (It's awfully hard for a morse code neophyte like me to copy the code when there are multiple stations on the same frequency with very close to the same ID. They often overlap, causing the ears at this end to emit their own code, of sorts). * I had one set of the same calls with /6 prceded by CQ, which I take to be a common ham term for 'calling' ... but there was what I believe was a 'z' in between. * I also had HHH preceding yet another unID set of calls.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Re: WFAW DX Test
I really like the idea of using UTC with DX test notifications. But there is no avoiding the risk of a time miscalculation. If using UTC, the person organizing the test would need to make sure they - and the engineer at the station- are both on the same page in converting local time to UTC. This could get tricky, especially close to a time change or when dealing with an area where there is no time change. So, no matter what system is used, UTC or local time, the people organizing and running a test have to be very careful to set the right time. It would of course be pretty straigh forward for any DXer able to calculate UTC. But wouldn't it be funny (Not!) if the organizers of a test and the station got it wrong and tested at a time when no one was listening... My bottom line is I will happily go with the flow, but I I could get very used to doing al my DX reportage and communication in UTC, because it is universal. However, that does not change the fact that we would still have to take care with our time zone number-crunching. Saul Chernos --- Scott Fybush [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul B. Walker, Jr. wrote: I prefer using either Eastern Time.. or the time zone of which the station is in. Not all of us know, care to know or care to learn how to figure out UTC time, nor should we be just because a select few want it. We're not exactly talking brain surgery here - if you're in Eastern Time, UTC is local time plus four hours in the summer, plus five hours in the winter. So if I'm typing this at 1611 local standard time, I add five hours and...presto! It's 2111 UTC. That said, I'm content to go with the flow depending on which club I'm reporting to; as long as there's some indication of what time zone the reporter is in, and whether they're using local time or UTC, I'm cool with that. s Be a better pen pal.

[IRCA] WFAW DX Test
Niel Wolfish and I have swep tones and occasional bits of morse code, at Burnt River ON (north of Toronto). Montreal is clearly dominant with Rollye James hosting C2C talk about UFOs. Country music is likely Yorkton SA. There's a sports talker in there to the south which may be WGRP Greenville PA (based on a late-night logging yesterday). I think we're both about done for. Some LW TAs are in well, still, but cx have levelled off. SA is in on 540, hints of AB on 1140, but signals not as good as past night. This test is appreciated. New catch here.

Re: [IRCA] CHUC-less
I had Fort Wayne IN from Toronto Thursday evening, and Holland MI Friday morning from Burnt River. Both new logs. I logged WCTC New Brunswick NJ on SSS Friday, for a relog. I also had music from India and other points east, with a language that may have had a very little bit of French in it, or be French spoken by immigrants. Two candidates are WCEV Chicago, and CHOU Montreal QC. I do think I heard a CHOU ID that sounded like Shoe. Regardless, it was the dominant station for much of last night, and it's only a matter of time. DX this morning...there was none. The TAs seemed to fade early last night on LW, and the MW hets disappeared around the same time. Caught up on my sleep from being up all night the night before. Niel Wolfish joins me here at Burnt River in about an hour. We'll see if cx improve and we'll try for the 940 WI DX test early Monday morning. For those who care about FM, meteor scatter has been hopping, though only one burst IDed (92.3 Omaha NE). Saul Jim Renfrew, Holley NY CHUC is now gone. Spending the morning on 1450 reveals the dominant station is WMAJ, State College PA with Penn State coverage.

Heard this at Burnt River this morning (Friday) at 0704 EST. French CBC news //860 (national feed). Weak but steady under CHUM Toronto with no sign of NYC. I was on the lookout for this one after hearing in a few weeks ago at Cappahayden during the Newfoundland DXpedition, also around sunrise. Not much else loggeed by cx seemed good overnight. I got here at 2 am and stayed up. 960 had Fox Sports radio and later had religion, then had ESPN. Heard an anthem at 0559 EST and then Rogers City MI was dominant. CFFX Kingston ON was not heard overnight, leading me to wonder if it had gone off. But it came back gradually and was dominant around 0530... 1450 is indeed off. Heard Fort Wayne IN while still downtown last night, and Holland MI aroudn 0730 here this morning. 1420 CKPT is still on, but WHK Cleveland OH and WOC Davenport A were dominant overnight. Now of course it's all CKPT. Heard Cuba on 530 with Rebelde, //5025 as others have heard it.

Re: [IRCA] IBOC battle begins
The broadcast bands we know and love are nothing more than a roadway. Our receivers are the delivery truck. The product we should care about is the programming. The HD Hucksters driving the doomed, rickety IBOC delivery truck are taking advantage of people in the broadcasting business who seem not to understand that they are in the programming business. Their business is to put quality programming (including advertising) where it will reach an audience. I don't give a rat's tush what route the delivery truck takes, or whether the vehicle is a semi, a van, or a toddler on a three-wheeler. What I do care about as an audience is how I will be informed and entertained. Part of a broadcaster's ongoing, evolving - living - business plan involves knowing where their audience is hanging out. Just like retailers need to be savvy about whether to locate downtown, in the suburbs, at a mall or plaza, or on the street, or - increasingly - online, so broadcasters need to think more thoughtfully about location. With some exceptions, people have abandoned AM in droves. Particularly those under 40. People are also on the verge of abandoning FM. People don't even watch as much TV as they used to. The platform whose star is rising is online, portable and enables users to hear or watch what they want, when they want, where they want. Increasingly, it even lets them interact, contribute and participate. AM sounds like crud in most urban centres, Even at my fairly remote Burnt River DX site, the birdies from hydro lines, fluorescent lights and computers would turn off the average listener. (IBOC is a big, big birdie - a pterodactyl). FM and TV over-the-air signals are subject to line-of-sight and terrain blockage issues. Cable only offers what the cable operators want to offer or in regulated markets what they are allowed to offer, not what the audience necessarily wants to receive. The trick is to retain as much of an OTA presence as possible, include cable in the mix where possible, and as quickly as possible develop, build and maintain an online presence that above all is programming-centred and is agile in terms of its ability to move with new technological innovation. In other words, maintain your brand and product over as many routes and vehicles as possible, to keep and build your increasingly scattered and diverse audience. The iPod may rule with today's teenager and young adult, but what will the delivery truck and radioset or TV look like in a few years, as new technological innovations occur. Personally, I am betting on satellites. Regardless, technology is evolving in a chaotic way, in part due to a lack of any central direction or regulation, and in part due to open-ended possibilities. I think the only way to possibly harness technology advaancement and platform choice is through an international body such as the ITU or UN, or otherwise through international agreements. However, I'm not sure that technological change, as rapid as it naturally tends to occur, can be managed without a serious shift in popular attitude or without a dictatorial approach. For now, broadcasters need to keep track of their audience so they're always in sync. As it stands, AM and FM radio stations are moving to IBOC when no one is there. There's no promise that IBOC receivers will be built or sold. The same happened in Canada to some extent with DAB, although the DAB approach was (is) perhaps a better idea than the IBOC approach because the (planned) move to DAB involved a wholesale move to a potentially better area of the spectrum whereas the haphazard do-what-you-want move to IBOC is simply screwing up the existing service before the new one is built and working. Think about this: You live in a rowhouse. Wouldn't it be criminal to tear down your unit and damage the ones next door to you because you happen to want a standalone highrise? The FCC effectively abandoned its role as a zoning authority. maybe the FCC should be sued for negligence. SC PVZ wrote: Concur. Big Radio's S/Bag PR job offends moreso than its iBLOCkhead jamming.

Jim Renfrew and I were pleasantly surprised to have a good mid-late afternoon session with Europe, mostly southern Europe, and places like UAE, Jordan, and such. Brazil has been pounding in on many channels, though not many IDs due to national programming and luck. Argentina 1030 was in. I think it was yesterday I had ZIZ 555 and 895 Nevis, both with decent signals. Tonight 1020 Reloj is varely there, the American clears are likewise at bay, and cx are clearly favouring points further south. There are some Cubans, Jim had 1150. Brazil has a sporting event live on many channels, for you diggers. We've yet to ID any of them, but I think it's a national game versus Portugal, and hopefully it will end while we're awake enough to hear an ID. 1500, 1000 and more... We dare you!!!

The latter was strong enough to produce audio here last night, and yet there was not a trace of ZIZ. Mind you, I only checked over a limited period of time late in the evening, so it's possible that the 555 transmitter had a bit of down time. I'll check again tonight.

[IRCA] Newfoundland Report - brief
Notes aren't with me, and on dialup here at Cappahayden so will check in just briefly. India 1566 is in right now solid at 1930 UTC. New VOA in Afghanistan is a fairly easy catch you landlubbers oughta try for on 1296. Lots from Iran, Algeria, Moldova, Germany, all over from what oldtimers would consider the regulars. Have had some weaklings from UK in the 800-1500 watt range therabouts. Greenland 570 720; Brazil has had okay moments oon a few channels, Jim had Paraguay and Argentina which I missed the IDs but likely heard as well. This my first Dxpedition to a coast like this - awesome to say the least. I get the feeling conditions are average. We had MB 1050 and IA 960 this morning but nothing further west yet.

Re: [IRCA] CBC on 1250
I can tell you that the CBC's As It Happens is carried on many NPR stations, and at varying times that do not coincide with when the CBC might be carrying it. I DX a lot of FM, and to say this presents a problem with meteor scatter is an understatement. If you hear the words Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on a meteor burst on some FM frequencies, it is more more likely to be an NPR station referencing the Canadian network as the program's source or producer, than it is to be a CBC station, which is more likely to say 'CBC'. Though nothing is ever guaranteed, and it's always listener beware. As for an earlier complaint about using terms such as FF, jargon and shortened versions of common words and phrases are common in any hobby. I wonder if there is a web site somewhere that lists some of the terms -- maybe the hams have us DXers beat to that, and out of simple curiosity I will look later on when I have time. In lieu of such a list, I think it's perfectly okay to use these terms, and if someone on the list doesn't know a term, a polite query can yield a friendly, helpful response. That's partly what this list is for. FF means French, or Français if you prefer. There, my French-language education hasn't gone completely to waste. I wonder if the 'cedille' beneath the 'c' will be viewable. I pressed alt-135 for that.

[IRCA] The end of IBOC -- and AM?
They may be snakes in this grass, and they may be biting themselves, but lil' old Tom in NH isn't part of that equation. The stations rely on local ad revenue, largely from within the main contours. From an income business point of view, they largely don't care an IBOC hoot about their non-local audience. WJR and WABC beancounters could care less about you. Yes, IBOC is making it difficult if not impossible for you to litsne to AM stations 200-plus miles away. But that's not what is killing IBOC. What will send the sword plunging into the beast is the fact that (1) IBOC is killing stations within their own primary contours and (2) it's adding significantly to the noise that already plagues much of the AM band, making it generally speaking an unpleasant experience. Anyhow, I stand by my previous remarks, ages ago, that AM is dead, with or without IBOC, and that the smart broadcasters who will survive the inevitable AM-ageddon will prepare for some kind of migration to an eventual digital, wireless, satelite-based, online world. The technology will soon be there. Anyhow,, they will get there successfully by enhancing programming, building a distinct identity and raison-d'etre, building brand recognition (in a way that honestly deserves recognition), and faithfully serving the community or region or other audience target. Maintaining and building the revenue base of advertisers is also key, of course, as is immediately establishing and maintaining a strong, active web-based multi-platform presence (web site with audio, video and print). And the longer they can hold onto an actual AM-based audience, the better it will help the inevitable, eventual transition. The sad thing about IBOC is its potential to cause chaos in what should be an orderly process. BTW, I think FM and TV will also eventually head in this direction; might take a bit longer, and the precise paths will vary. Saul Chernos Tom L Jones wrote: Good news! Interesting thing is that WABC / WJR kill each other here with there IBOC I am a LISTENER to both. I wonder how many pairs there are like this under the same owners killing themselfs.

Re: [IRCA] KOHI Still Atop 1600 Long After LSS
If you're referring to my post, and use of the word 'cheater' (you don't say which word but I think this is a safe assumption that it is that word), then my use of it was really intended as a term that has arisen to define the phenomenon of a station that airs when it shouldn't, or at a power or pattern that it shouldn't, for *whatever* reason. Furthermore, I see it as almost an affectionate term for the reason that follows in my next point. My post pointed out that 'cheaters' (and again I intend this term as a colloquialism, not as the decree of judge and jury) are today's DX tests, DX opportunities if you will. And, for the record, I think there are -- very generally speaking -- two kinds of 'cheaters': Those which leave their signals and or say patterns on well after sunset (which could very well mean an equipment malfunction, and possibly inattentive staff if the problem persists for months on end; if this is only an occasional occurrence it can also be due to the vagaries of propagation; and in a few rare cases there may be personnel who simply don't care or may even do it intentionally - one would have to prove that, of course). The other variety is what I call the High School Footballer: Stations which power down or go off *immediately* after a game, even though they should have done so at sunset. These ones are pretty obvious, folks! But, c'mon -- would Friday Night DXing be the same without the High School Fotballers? The band is so ordinary so much of the time. Early Friday evening is actually one of my favourite times for DXing. The 1350 in MN that was apparently at it last night is on my most-wanted list! --- Patrick Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Guys, I think that term should be dropped from our posts. First off, we don't know the reason the station may be on high power and I would like to believe it is just an error. Using that term, does not help with our reationship to the radio industry. If someone feels a station has not dropped power, fine, post it, but please do not use the negative term. 73, Patrick Martin Co-Moderator ___ 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 Catch up on fall's hot new shows on Yahoo!

I have spoken to someone at the station and have preliminay news many of us won't appreciate. They have moved to FM 104.7 - i know, as I've logged it. But they plan to stay on AM for at least a few more months because the FM isn't reaching the full of their target audience. It's not terribly high-powered and I can appreciate that. I do wonder what planning went into this move, but I don't yet know all the facts and am holding judgement. look for it to last until at least december, if not longer, on 1150. I also heard 630 Sherbrooke last night. Not sure if the other two in this set of four that flipped to FM have left AM yet. Saul Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect.

[IRCA] BC AB and other western stuff in ON last night
Woke up around 0303 to hear: - 660 News time 1... on 660, which is calgary - 1130 at 0415 with the a jingle to intro the sports segment of the news, that was an exact match for the ne I hear all the time on 680 (which also features sports on the quarters). It came ut of nowhere because NYC and Detroit were relatively dominent, with traces of a third and fourth station at times. NY was doing Bloomberg stuff, Detroit seemed like sports talk. This is CKWX, BC #2 here (CBF 690 ears ago) - Regina 620 with ID and country, 600 Iowa, 1010 with oldies u/CFRB and WINS. I suspect Wisconsin, as there seems to be no other logical candidate for oldies. I IDed a couple songs and may call the station on Tuesday. I've been hearing this a fair bit. MN on 560 quite strong. 780 had country and I wonder if this was maine. 940 country likely Yorkton SA. The season has arrived here, officially! Saul Looking for a deal?

[IRCA] Complaining about IBOC (was WBT IBOC test)
If IBOC proceeds at night and involves a significant number of stations there won't be much left to DX, and therefore QSL. So there's nothing much to lose by complaining. Those of us who choose to voice our opinion would benefit by remaining civil in any communications, especially if we get on-air. One way to achieve that is to consciously smile while making your point, and to relax - see the exercise as one small step, not as the magic call that will forever reverse the evil world of IBOC. Slagging station personnel won't achieve anything. If anything, broadcasting and broadcasters, even some that adopt or flirt with IBOC, will be victims, losing money, perhaps even more than money. Citing actual cases of signal erosion or loss, within primary markets if possible, will be more effective. State case with Spock-like lack of emotion. There is also no need to ID as DXers. That's too much to explain to people unfamiliar with the hobby. We're radio listeners, and some of us (not me) are engineers, or have such skills and expertise. Keep it simple. Keep yourself out of the argument as much as possible. It is also helpful to make one's point quickly and effectively. One tactic I employ is to write down all the main points - argument by argument, example by example, in order of importance. Reduce each to a sentence or two, max. And also write down your preferred answer to posible questions. That way there's less chance of stumbling on-air. Learn from each experience. (Tape each session). As for me, I'll wait and see what the actual fallout looks like in September. If I find a legit complaint, I'll make it. And, if the AM band becomes unDXable or unpleasant to listen to I'll DX elsewhere - FM meteor scatter, for instance. Wintertime can be great for nulling semi-local FMs up here at Burnt River. My best guess is IBOC won't fully take off, not all of the band will be affected all of the time, and there will be some margin for DX. Maybe this thing will ultimately die. At the end of the day, we have every right and even a public duty to voice constructive concern when we see something wrong. If that means that a few people won't provide us with party favours, well ... too bad. Look at the massive majority of stations that haven't thus far gone to IBOC. I think most stations will love us. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Call them? Why not? Your influence counts. Use it. TeamBLOC is a handful of coercive greedy-gut monopolists.

Younger ones laugh at it. Manufacturers dislike it. Retailers can't sell it. Broadcasters, coerced into installing it, are turning it off. Forget what they say. They post to mislead.

Please re-read that last line. Now do you see why some, in sly manner, encourage us never to complain and only be 'nice' to HD predatorkasters? Our influence counts.

Thanks to all of you who responded re CKAT 600 and CIGM 790. I took a trip to Burnt River ON and 790 is clearly dominant at night, and it shouldn't be. I'm also hearing a *bit* more CKAT than I think is normal, and these both fit with the pattern I've noticed this season. Well, get 'em while you can -- a ***very*** diplomatic, friendly approach is planned. I will not use any names of course. I just wanted to know if I was on base or off base. On a related note with these stations, some radio trivia ... the only other AM stations in northern Ontario are low-power CBC relays, and 580 CKPR Thunder Bay which is scheduled to move to FM and sign off not too long from now. Not much to hear up there in the daytime on AM. The only thing that may stop them from moving to FM is CRTC ownership limits of two FM stations in one community for one company. Rogers already has two in Sudbury and two in North Bay, I believe. Again, thanks to the many of you who responded. Saul __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [IRCA] KXEL deserves a reprimand or license revocation
I think it comes down to how the opinion is expressed. If rudely, then I'd agree with you, Les. But if a constructive comment, put civilly, causes such distress that stations cease to QSL or conduct DX tests, and hold DXers in ill repute - well, I think that's an over-reaction on their part. Although I don't QSL anymore, I do appreciate DX tests, but I also think stations - particularly the biggies - have a responsibility to the listener that transcends market doctrine. Like one DXer observed here, I wonder what KXEL's owner thinks, in retrospect, about being off for more than a week. Or the owners of stations whose automation systems or staff fail and they stay on at night when they're not supposed to. I'll bet most of them do want to know. As a DXer, effectively a dedicated radio listener, I am happy to help them. I've even told a few engineers I know that I'm happy to listen. One engineer who oversees a huge tower farm regularly tell me when they either go down completely or to reduced power. He's expressed interest in knowing how they perform under unusual circumstances in areas beyond the main contours. I only wish I had engineering skills and the proper meters to 'read' signals accurately. Frankly, I'm not terribly moved about stations whose owners and/or management don't give a damn about their listeners. Like another lister, I thought WWL did a bang-up job during Katrina and in the aftermath, though I continue to hold the N.O. Times-Picayune newspaper staff as particularly exemplary in the face of what really was a dangerous situation. My guess is KXEL would have floated away. --- Les Rayburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not aware of any FCC regulation that requires a station to have backup electrical power as a requirement for license. Your points about lost revenue and the greater public good are certainly valid, but there could all kinds of reasons why the station decided against purchasing an emergency generator. Besides, there outage has given a lot of DX'ers the opportunity to log some new stations...which I thought was the point of this club/e-mail list. Why so many DX'ers seem to want to sit in judgment about how stations should and do conduct their affairs is beyond me. These posts will likely find their way back to the management at KXEL making it harder to obtain a DX test, QSL's or other consideration from them in the future.

They have a radio tower and a studio -- so they deserve a gold star -- not a fine. A gold star? Hardly. If you're setting out to serve the public, emergency conditions like this are precisely when that service is most needed. Whether or not a generator is an FCC requirement, and it's not, there's still a higher expectation that a class A signal like KXEL will be prepared for the likelihood that at some point, it will lose utility power. It's also just good business sense; the revenue KXEL is surely losing by not being on the air for a week must have far outweighed what a generator would have cost by now. At least KXEL isn't an EAS LP-1 or LP-2 station for its region - though one of its sister FMs, KFMW 107.9, is, and I think it lost power as well. Any radio station that wants to portray itself as a supplier of vital information to its community should make room in the budget for a backup supply of power to keep it on the air when its services are most needed. You think the people of north central Iowa won't remember that KXEL was missing in action this week? s ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] 1540 overnite
I heard WTRK Niles one morning, probably due to KXEL's absence from the mix. Anyhow, I sat there for awhile, got one new catch out of it.

[IRCA] 660, 870, 1370, and other DX Opportunities
The 660 daytimer in SC has been bombing in here two nights in a row, with varied Christian talk programming and IDs mostly on the TOH. I wonder how they manage to ID ... can this all be automated and thus the station is on by some sort of human error, or would this be intentional, possibly? 790 CIGM ON Sudbury has been blasting in, hogging 790, like a few years ago when they had persistent problems that I hear were ordered resolved by Industry Canada. 1370 WKMC Roaring Springs PA should not be this loud or consistent at night, as they should drop power, but has been for ages... 870 WINU still equal to N'awlins the past few weeks.

Niel Wolfish finally mnahaed a WINU ID last night, too. So two nights in a row here.

[IRCA] CBLI 1110 Deep River ON heard in IL (and here)
Neil Kazaross reported CBLI 1110 Deep River ON with CBC Radio One //1550 late Sun Feb 11. Not too shabb, at 40 watts, Neil! I managed to get them here at Burnt River ON, for the first time ever. Never really thought to check for them, despite a similar report by Neil earlier this year. I managed to parallel them to my local 91.5 in orillia ON with classical, jazz and eclectic piano music, which really stood out. Had it just been talk, I would not have been able to dig it out. But the piano, especially, cut through the floor. It was in 3rd place behind WBT and someone else. Also //1550 Windsor for those who care to try. They're now into CBC Radio Overnight, which is a compendium of various shortwave broadcasts, mostly spoken word. What's interesting, too, is tha I paralleled it to 1070 in Moncton, which was running // CBC in eastern time zone. I've never noticed that before. Always assumed all programming was an hour ahead. Lots of NH (610, 1240, 1300 all new) on SSS tonight. Band is pretty normal now, save some strong signals to QC on, like, 550. Saul Chernos Burnt River ON Do you Yahoo!?
