2011-11-09 Thread Bill Block
Listened from 1305-1350 UTC and conditions were better than the last few days with JOAB-693 and JOUB-774 with audio. Many more carriers were heard and some were close to audio. I did hear one new station as I heard CHMJ-730 in Vancouver also I heard KIRO-710 on top of the other stations.

I now have a new antenna its a Super Loop (24x8) pointing toward the North with RG6 Quad coax into a DX Engineering RPA-1 Preamplifier. This new antenna works very well and I have heard one new station today when I heard CHMJ-730. I could not hear CHMJ on any of my other antennas. Bill

At 1900 UT this Wednesday, as extensively publicized. (noon MST) Only 30 seconds? Be quick about it, but tune across the AM or FM bands and find any stations which are NOT running the test. Or employ your Perseus to catch everything for later analysis. 73, Glenn Hauser

Here`s what I observed, anyway. Don`t have an analog dial AM radio handy for rapid tuning, so decide to use the caradio in the garage; unfortunately, that`s where there is also a lot of line noise, especially on low end of AM so I concentrate on the high end: 1900 UT: nothing happens 1900:30

WLGN, 1510, Logan Ohio has changed oldies services, from Timeless Classics to True Oldies.  Perhaps that accounts for the dead air as, when they went to Timeless Classics they had problems with local breaks and even IDs.  But would that also account for the curious raspy hum that is all they've
