Re: [IRCA] 1710 KHz TiS Station
I'll be in WI in early March and will try to bag that there. Perhaps I can get this from IL, but the powerlines east of me are extremely noisy since huge T-storms this summer so I have no antenna aimed that way now, but that doesn't mean that I can't put down a or reverse the feed and termination on my westerly Double KAZ antenna to aim east although I expect too much noise. -Original Message- >From: Tim Tromp >Sent: Feb 19, 2012 8:30 AM >To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America > >Subject: Re: [IRCA] 1710 KHz TiS Station > >This TIS has been a nightly visitor here since it was first reported the >other night.

I'm quite sure I would've noticed them before as well, so I suspect it's a new transmitter that just came on the air (or was moved to a new location) this past week. Whether the other four transmitters listed on their license are also on the air is anybody's guess.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 KHz TiS Station
This TIS has been a nightly visitor here since it was first reported the other night. It comes in at the same level as the Radio Celestial pirate. So the question remains, is this a new TIS station or did something change allowing it to be widely heard? I frequently monitor 1710 and haven't heard this TIS before it was first reported on the lists.

It doesn't seem to be heard other than Northeast through Northwest though. There's been no sign of it here.

[IRCA] 1710 KHz TiS Station
I'm still wondering why this station is being suddenly so well heard. Since it's continued for several nights now, we can rule out propagation events. TIS transmitters don't have a provision to allow "cheating" by increasing the power. So I'm wondering if they just came on the air, or relocated one of the transmitters to a new location? Still nothing here on 1710 KHz, but I continue to check. If I could get day off from work, I might install the Wellbrook loop away from the hash of the house and improve my odds. -- 73, *Les Rayburn, N1LF* EM63nf 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 6M VUCC #1712 Grid Pirates #222 Life Member Central States VHF ___ 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
