Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Getting to the bottom of 1710 - OT Chuckle

LOL John!:) I wanted to be a broadcaster as long as I can remember that I have a memory. Something about it intrigues me, partly how the signal gets from the station to the listener.. but I love entertaining others while playing music. For what it's worth, I started DXing early in life too. it wa

[IRCA] 1510 with dead air

Last night at approx 0200 PDT( 04 / 07/11) after emrerging from a tub of nice relaxing hot water, I fired up my rig for a last minute check for TP whistles and since there weren't any I just did the usual scan and stopped scanning when I hit 1510 but didn't hear the usual sports ramble from what

Re: [IRCA] Bristol's Hope NF.

I never thought it would be that easy to get so many signals from the old world in NF(especially using small pocket receivers) since I didn't manage to ever get anything from NB when I was living there but I guess the domestics don't reach the east coast of NF as easily. I always knew I ended up

[IRCA] WHP 580 IBOC

Yes Patrick, WHP does use IBOC but only during the day when the station is nondirectional. The program director told me it would be very expensive to modify the night time directional array for IBOC and I guess Clear Channel didn't think it was worth the cost. If IBOC had become more popular

Re: [IRCA] WHP 580 IBOC

I am not intimately acquainted with the operation at WHP, so I will just briefly comment on what I do know. Our general manager at WFIL-WNTP was GM at WHP several years ago, and he explained that WHP is fairly tightly blocked in at night by several stations, both co-channel and adjacent. Among th

Re: [IRCA] WHP 580 IBOC

Craig, Thanks for the clarification. I don't know if anyone has ever asked this or not, but why do some IBOC stations have such a hiss behind their audio and others do not? I have noticed that for a long time. Does the night skip have something to do with it? It is very irritating to listen to the
