[IRCA] Rapid Pulse noise on 1610khz

2011-11-25 Thread amdxer
There is a rapid pulsing type noise on 1610khz with a SE/NW loop bearing.  Suspect Cuba as the source.  First noticed this at 01:00 CST. Are  they trying to jam CHHA? Tom Jasinski Joliet, IL ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

No pulse noise here at 05:30 CST on 1610. OM in SS at ~85* (CHHA?) and OM in EE at ~75* (CJWI?) both null on the right bearing but no ID on the SS and heavy fading on the EE station. Of course and much Spanish as I know he may have ID'd 5 times... Tim Hills Sioux Falls, SD On 11/25/2011 2:22,

Hi All: What about CJMR - 1320?  They're licensed to Mississauga and though they're now 100% ethnic, I used to hear them here in English in the AM doing local nx.  Apparently there wasn't enough local interest to keep up that part of their program schedule.  I suppose the new 960 could have a

WRAQ is not a licensed AM call per the FCC website. It does have a Western NC pedigree, having once been used by Asheville-1380 and Brevard-1240. I suspect that is the reason for the tower site hits. Steve Francis Alcoa, Tennessee -Original Message- From: Paul B. Walker, Jr.
