[IRCA] DX last night
Around 8 p.m. EDT last night ( UTC) I took a brief DX break during (what turned out to be a losing) Red Sox game. There were quite a few medium wave TA's in at the time. These included UK and other northern Europe as well as usual France, Spain, and Algeria. I made a short Perseus capture that I'll go over in the next few days. Once thing that surprised me was that there was summer-like static even though any storms were a long distance away.

Re: [IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs
Hi, Dave--
I hadn't heard them in many years until last night. I wonder if they are
having antenna pattern problems-- it looks like most of their signal is
aimed north and east.

Hey Bill;
I'm almost ready to call this 1380 C&W stn CKPC. The "13-80" slogan
seems to be what they use and that matches what I've heard. Curtis
Sadowski SSE of you in East Central Illinois says that they boom into
his area almost every night. I do have an email in to their news room
(only station email that I found) but will keep trying if they do not
reply. Not sure why I haven't heard them before. They were 10 Kw 24/7
up until the early 90's and you'd think that 25 Kw would make it, even
if not aimed right at me.
John Rieger says that the MN stn uses a K-Gee slogan and that doesn't
fit, either.
As always, thanks and 73,

Hi, Dave!
Tonight 11/18 at around 1820 EST I was hearing CKPC 1380 Brantford ON
playing C&W (not classic but not the more rock-like contemporary either)
and using the slogan "AM 13-80." The signal was surprisingly strong on a
very crowded frequency. At one point they gave a web address of
am1380.ca. Hope this helps.

I spent about 90 minutes last night, primarilly DX'ing in the
1300's.
Although I only caught one new one (overall to boot) I had some
fun with
some of the unID's.
1370: It appeared that Pineville, NC 1370 had their 16Kw day rig
on
late, as it was 9 PM ET, or almost 4 hours after Pineville LSS.
I also
had Fort Cambell KY with rock music and what sounded like a High
School
football game but it was Bowling Green U Vs. Toledo, thus WSPD.
1380: I had Classic Country again on 1380 with a simple "AM
13-80"
slogan. Faded down during weather and ads. Did not appear to
match
Brantford ON's stream as they seem to play newer C&W. Maybe
Arab, AL?
Winona MN (doubtful)? I am sending an email to the Arab, AL
station.
The C&W station went way below South Beloit, IL's "Stateline
Sports"
station and then a SS station was heard. The only imaging that
I caught
was a "La Musica" ment at 2054 EST. WKDM-NY would be Mandarin
per their
schedule. WTOB-NC? WHEW-TN on late? ???
1310: Local WTLC-AM ("The Light") *may* be stuck on day power as
their
signal and associated slop (especially on 1320) are greater than
normal,
at night. Normally I can hear traces of Madison, WI in the
nulls and
underneath. They have at least had their IBOC off for the past
few
weeks!
1320: WTAS-PA is the only thing making it through - trivial
relog.
1330: The new one! Was chasing a Classic Country station where
I could
only barely tell what song was being played. I heard an "AM
1330
W-R-A-?" liner, so I pulled up Barry's site and saw two
possibilities
WRAM in IL and WRAA in VA. Found WRAM's website and the stream
matched
as did the liner, hearing a definite repeat of the WRAM ID at
2110 ET.
No doubt that this station was on their proper 50 watt night
power due
to P or VP signal. The little barefoot Eton really pulled this
one out.
1360: Southern Gospel. Who knows? Maybe WMOB-AL again?

Re: [IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs
Hi All: I was in the 1200s last night. Newport, TN, 1270 was killing WXYT w/TN vs. VA women's BKB. WANS was dominating 1280 w/Anderson U vs. Erskine Flying Fleet women's BKB game, 1250 and 1260 were an absolute mess. Also noted N. Augusta dominating 1600, probable Georgetown, KY w/R&B on 1580 as well as a nice WEAM ID @2100, the 1370 NC blasting in w/R&B/Gospel, SS all alone on 1170 (probaby the NC, SS dominating 1070 (no idea who that was) & Hickory, NC on 1290 well under WHIO, but I can't usually hear them at all at night. Seems that area, NC, SC, TN was doing well & may have hadd more than 1 station still running day power. 73 David PS. Also had SS on 1380 which, around here, usually means WTOB. No WKJV, though. It's always a pleasure not to hear them. --- On Thu, 11/18/10, HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS wrote: From: HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS Subject: Re: [IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs To: irca@hard-core-dx.com, "Paul B.

Re: [IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs
1380 C&W was not WRAB, per Archie Anderson at the station. I will email
Brantford, ON, if I can find a contact link.
73,

PS - Maybe a recent Format Change? Seemed more WSW-ENE anyway. dh

Thanks KAZ. I emailed WRAB. I got a "permanent delivery error" from my
mail server BUT I also got a "thanks for your email" automated reply
from them, that they will be getting back with me. :) Odd, it
permanently failed but still went out?! WRAB's website did not have a
"listen live" link, so I'll wait for a response. BTW - their website
looks like something that I developed for Anderson Speedway back in 1995
- kind of mom and pop-ish. :)
I do not know about WMOB as I only recently added them to my logbook
about ten days ago. They were not on their day rig at night per se, but
they were not 100% legal. They fired up their full power PSRA at 5 AM
CST, an hour too soon. Last night they may have been on the day rig
late - and I still believe that many station's automation have choked on
this year's DST switch and that is why so many right now are "cheating"
for lack of a better term.
Speaking of 1360, my situation sounds like your situation with 1380 and
St. Louis. For decades, Cincinnati has dominated my reception of 1360
during the day, sunset and sunrise periods and at night - though at
night they were not as dominant. I do not know if their facilities have
changed or it's the better nulling of my ULR's but Cincy is not the
bother that it has been in the past. Maybe you should pull some ground
wire's out of the St. Louis stations setup - or buy a $40 ULR. :)

[IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs
I spent about 90 minutes last night, primarilly DX'ing in the 1300's.
Although I only caught one new one (overall to boot) I had some fun with
some of the unID's.
1370: It appeared that Pineville, NC 1370 had their 16Kw day rig on
late, as it was 9 PM ET, or almost 4 hours after Pineville LSS. I also
had Fort Cambell KY with rock music and what sounded like a High School
football game but it was Bowling Green U Vs. Toledo, thus WSPD.
1380: I had Classic Country again on 1380 with a simple "AM 13-80"
slogan. Faded down during weather and ads. Did not appear to match
Brantford ON's stream as they seem to play newer C&W. Maybe Arab, AL?
Winona MN (doubtful)? I am sending an email to the Arab, AL station.
The C&W station went way below South Beloit, IL's "Stateline Sports"
station and then a SS station was heard. The only imaging that I caught
was a "La Musica" ment at 2054 EST. WKDM-NY would be Mandarin per their
schedule. WTOB-NC? WHEW-TN on late? ???
1310: Local WTLC-AM ("The Light") *may* be stuck on day power as their
signal and associated slop (especially on 1320) are greater than normal,
at night. Normally I can hear traces of Madison, WI in the nulls and
underneath. They have at least had their IBOC off for the past few
weeks!
1320: WTAS-PA is the only thing making it through - trivial relog.
1330: The new one! Was chasing a Classic Country station where I could
only barely tell what song was being played. I heard an "AM 1330
W-R-A-?" liner, so I pulled up Barry's site and saw two possibilities
WRAM in IL and WRAA in VA. Found WRAM's website and the stream matched
as did the liner, hearing a definite repeat of the WRAM ID at 2110 ET.
No doubt that this station was on their proper 50 watt night power due
to P or VP signal. The little barefoot Eton really pulled this one out.
1360: Southern Gospel. Who knows? Maybe WMOB-AL again?
