Re: [IRCA] NE Oregon TPs, Wednesday ..... Victoria somewhat different

Here in Victoria, very weak audio on 1503 and 1593 around 1200UT, no hope of readability. Music on 1503, so wonder if it really was Radio Sport this time? No joy on 891 or 1116 here however. best wishes, Nick At 22:26 11-07-12, you wrote: Only MW audio was from 891 very poor DU 1217 utc,

[IRCA] Finally got KFIR, Oregon

As most MW DXers know there aren't a lot of stations on 720 kHz. One I have wanted for a while is KFIR in Sweet Home, Oregon, about 450 miles from my QTH. At night KDWN in Las Vegas, NV dominates the frequency with their 50 KW power, day and night. I decided to try for KFIR in the time after

Re: [IRCA] Finally got KFIR, Oregon

Neil, Good going on KFIR. They don't seem to get out all that strong in my direction (NNW) at 130 miles. They were rare on 1370 and a regular on 720 all day with 10 KW, but are not strong for the power. The shorter tower (1370) probably has an affect on the signal. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin

Re: [IRCA] Finally got KFIR, Oregon

Probably? It definately does. If the tower is cut for 1/4 wave at 1370... that means its probably just under 200 feet. 1/4 wave for 720 would be like twice the height at 1370.. that will absolutely have an effect on the signal. If they had a true 1/4 wave for 720, you'd probably hear them

Re: [IRCA] Finally got KFIR, Oregon

Thanks Paul. I did not know the height of their tower, but I fiqured it was short. No wonder their 10 KW doesn't do well. Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Congratulations Neil on the KFIR logging. Way to hunt them down. ---Mike Sanburn KG6LJU Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 09:57:49 -0700 From: neil.neilb...@gmail.com To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: [IRCA] Finally got KFIR, Oregon As most MW DXers know there aren't a lot of stations on 720 kHz.
