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 ma

[IRCA] TP's for 10/04/10

Listened from 1333-1424 utc. Started out poor, pick up at 1400 utc. Even passed sunrise. 1314 with audio, nice signal, but low audio. Higher channels must better than previous weeks. Will be interesting to read what the fellows upstate heard. 153 RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1352 very weak.

[IRCA] New SRS ULR log from Saturday

I poked around a bit on Saturday morning with the barefoot Eton e-100. Only station of note was new to the main and ULR logs. It was on 1570 and mentioned Alton, North Alton, 618 area codes and lots of "Riverbend" mentions, so it was WBGZ Alton, IL! #4 on 1570 for the Illini state. Ironically I h

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 wors

[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, October 2-4, 2010

** ALASKA. I was going to put this under UNIDENTIFIED, until researched: 2750, Oct 4 at 1214, strong signal and still but weaker at 1242 recheck: sweep and step tones, like you might hear from a MW station doing a proof; same thing over and over, from low to high pitches. What`s this? Previously

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. Patrick Patrick

Today's St. Catharines Standard reports that 1220-CHSC is now officially off the air for good. The CRTC had denied an application to renew the broadcasting licence of CHSC, and they were supposed to be off the air at the end of August. Their owner, Pellpropco, obtained an interim injunction
