Re: [IRCA] Re 1130 BC OR
Bruce, Maybe CKWX should look at another frequency, maybe the old 600? Especialy if they could get 50 KW. Unless Mt. Angel drastically changes its' pattern or lowers power, it looks like CKWX will have to deal with the QRM. Of course a booster station or a translator on FM in the Frasier Valley may work. If CKWX has an FM, they could similcast in the mornings and afternoons. Of course combatting the U.S. QRM, maybe higher power might be allowed, but I believe Canada also has the 50 KW limit. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR 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] Re 1130 BC OR
I assume that KPWX's tx is south of Portland and that they want to reach Portland's Mexican community so I don't think changing patterns is going to happen, however, what CKWX should be pressing for is for somewhat lower CH power for KPWX. This morning and afternoon QRM is only going to get worse as fall continues and northern areas start to develop skip a couple hours before SS and after SR. .. neilkaz .. -Original Message- From: Patrick Martin mwd...@webtv.net Sent: Oct 4, 2010 3:03 AM To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] Re 1130 BC OR Bruce, Maybe CKWX should look at another frequency, maybe the old 600?

Re: [IRCA] Re 1130 BC OR
True, but there are International laws regarding QRM and since CKWX has been on 1130 forever, Mt. Angel may be forced to make changes. Mt. Angel is indeed South of Portland, but Bustos Media already has several stations in the Portland area. They have 1010, 1150, 1230, and 1520.

[IRCA] Re 1130 BC OR
1130 in Victoia BC showed Mt Angel OR cutting into Vancouver as early as 5:30 when I nulled CKWX by rotat ing my receiver into a near vertical posirtion KWPX is now audible under Van in the hoizontal but at a 90o angle to Van.Waiting for OR to power down to their nite pattern.Other dx freqs are becoming active after 6 PM PDT.Back on 1130 OR is begi ning to push Van into a fluctuating mix of alternating over and under for both.6:30 and OR has disappeared about 20 minutes before LSS.

Re: [IRCA] Re 1130 BC OR
I was in the Bellingham, WA area most of today and checked 1130 on the car radio while driving home. At 1730 PDT, KPWX was clearly audible in the background near the southern edge of town, about 40 miles SE of the CKWX transmitter site. Sometimes, KPWX came close to equaling CKWX for a few seconds. I'm not sure if CKWX has many listeners on our side of the border, but it pretty much confrms that the station is getting enough interference to annoy listeners on the outskirts of Vancouver. Prior to KPWX, CKWX's closest co-channel neighbor was in Dinuba, CA, about 800 miles away, so this is a new experience for them.
