Re: [IRCA] new? HAR
I heard it on 2009-01-15 at 08:00 UT but had the same problem with the second character of the call sign. I couldn't decide if it sounded more like a 'T' or a 'P' but the announcement of the location was very clear.

[IRCA] New HAR testing in NY State
1620 WDFS831 NY 10 Nov 1535 WDFS831 1620 Kilohertz ... Enn-Y advisory radio. Calls, frequency and words slurred by a computer voice. This is reportedly a station testing for the New York State Thruway. NEW. (SC-BR) I hope I have the calls right. Signal was fair to poor but consistent in late afternoon and early evening. Couldn't find it listed under FCC. Saul Burnt River ON Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail.

[IRCA] New HAR Station on 1380 in Smyrna DE
For months I've suspected that the Delaware Department of Transportation had put up a new transmitter on 1380 in the Smyrna DE area. They run their main transmitter out of Wilmington, WTMC, with HAR stations in Dover and Rehoboth Beach, all on 1380. Recently, 1380 has been MUCH stronger, even at night. No way the Wilmington station is putting that strong into Smyrna (at 30 miles) with 14 watts night power. The Dover station probably runs 10 watts, so it can't be them. FCC searches and listening to WTMC fail to turn up anything in Smyrna. Even this morning, WTMC is still only announcing transmitters in Wilmington, Dover and Rehoboth Beach. On my commute this morning, I notice a new antenna at exit 104 off Delaware Route 1, on the southbound ramp to Route 1. It is about 25 feet tall, with a loop at the top and about a dozen radials. I never noticed it before. I turned on 1380 and the WTMC programming was simply overpowering. As I drove south on Route 1 toward Dover, the signal faded and I began betting the echo effect, as the Dover outlet began to come in. I'm convinced that DelDOT has put a transmitter in Smyrna on 1380, with the transmitter at Exit 104 (South Smyrna exit) off Delaware Route 1. But I can't find it in the FCC database and DelDOT is not mentioning it. But that's not unusual. I sniffed out the Dover transmitter several weeks before it showed up in the FCC records and before DelDOT confirmed it.

Re: [IRCA] New HAR Station on 1380 in Smyrna DE
I know that. I didn't look in the AM query, but in what the FCC advertises as the HAR database, but i wonder how complete it is. It's not as easy to use as the AM/FM database. The DelDOT website is useless in hunting this down as well. John Cereghin. On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 9:18 AM, Paul B.
