Re: [IRCA] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site
Mike, I am sure you get CJCA much stronger than I do, but with their minor SW lobe, there is still enough signal in this direction to be strong enough to block 930 to the North. Maybe, we will be lucky when they move that the pattern will null our areas better. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ 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] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site
CJCA is the dominant station at night on 930 into N.E. Colorado. 880-CHQT is not regularly heard here due to KRVN's powerful signal. Other dominant Canadians at night are 620-CKRM, 770-CHQR, 800-CHAB, 890-CJDC, 900-CKBI, 960-CFAC, 990-CBW (HUGE!! I can't hear local KRKS under them), 1010-CBR, 1130-CKWX (dominates), 1140-CHRB (HUGE!!), 1190-CFSL, and 1220-CJRB. All of them have reliable signals every night. 73. Chris http://www.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/305675-54627.pd f show's CJCA night pattern. I believe that they use it as they are a very difficult catch here in NE IL. In constrast, when Edmonton on 880 (50 KW ND days) has forgotton to switch they often can overpower Brandon and WCBS on 880. 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] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site
If you take a look at the night patterns of all of those listed Canadians, you'll see that there's almost no chance that all of them are running listed night patterns. A few are, but I suspect that several aren't. .. neilkaz .. -Original Message- From: Chris Knight ch...@dxclipjoint.com Sent: Dec 23, 2008 2:07 PM To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site CJCA is the dominant station at night on 930 into N.E.

[IRCA] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site
*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* CJCA-930 Edmonton AB has been given approval by the CRTC to move their transmitter site a considerable distance (about 15 miles) to the SW, to a location south of the town of Devon: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Notices/2008/pb2008-121.htm item 24 Antenna and Transmitter Site Coordinates Present 53° 23’ 00” N.113° 28’ 36” W. New 53° 18’ 24” N.113° 43’ 00” W.

Re: [IRCA] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site
Dean, Their pattern is not on Radio Locator so I was just wondering if there was a particular reason cited in their proposal for the move like industrial buildup around their current site, area population shift, etc. It won't make much difference here as they are already dominant.

Re: [IRCA] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site
Deane, When I saw your post, I said Goodie, CJCA is moving to FM. So, when I clicked on it, it was a letdown. CJCA blocks 930 enough to keep me from hearing KNSA A so far. Now, it may be even stronger. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ 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] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site
Pete and the rest: According to my very old (1970s) NRC pattern book, CJCA's night pattern has a large main lobe north and a small lobe to the southwest, with very little power in other directions. They may be moving the tx south as a way of improving night coverage in the city. I forwarded Dean's post to a former IRCA member in Edmonton, who's already looking into it.
