It was pretty impressive here, too, Walt (although I didn't have much more time
to listen than you did). The low-band TP's on 594, 603 and 657 were decent for
a change, and 972 had a very nice signal. Unfortunately I could only listen
from 1535-1550, so probably missed most of the action. Not
Hello All,
Despite limited time to listen, the band was full of TP signals from 1535-1555
UTC, including many low-band big guns which seemed to have been in hibernation
recently. The star of the morning was 972-HLCA, with its best signal by far in
the new year of 2013. A brief check of the
One of the major radio companies has not hired a chief engineer to replace
the one who left and went to a competitor several months ago.
I believe they have a contract engineer who has to drive approximately 100
miles to get to the station if they go off the air. This is unbelievable.
First time back at the dials here after a hiatus in distant parts of
the world. Conditions were interesting and all over the place. Lots
of splatter, but a fair number of signals from time to time also,
though mostly not very strong.

Just heard this for the first time today (Thursday). Congrats to Sylvain on a
great catch! This may be the first reception of this station from North
America.

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether KRPI 1550 and KVAN 1560 are currently
using proper night power and patterns? Inspite of my new antenna system with
about a 75 deg beamwidth aimed about just right at 285 deg, I really shouldn't
be getting either one of these if running night power and
KRPI has a CP to run 50KW DA with 3 towers at night with a new pattern. My
guess is that they are either running on that, or are running temporarily on
NonD while the antenna system is bring modified. The new pattern is quite a
bit more loose than the old 10KW Night pattern.

KAZ,
I have been monitoring 1550, waiting to see if their new CP will make a
difference along the coast. So far nothing different, if they are using
the new site. I am sure they will still be nulling the South/SSE to
protect Vancouver WA and Bellevue as well as probably KZIZ 1560.

In checking 1550 here during midday, they don't sound any stronger
today. I can generally hear them way under Vancouver WA during the day
and the signal is the same as I type this. Last night they were in the
usual jumble even off the NE EWE. I have not heard any change in the
signal here

Pretty much the standard, or lack thereof, across the country. It took
10 days for the folks in charge of the old1600, WLNG to be notified that
they were off. The FCC doesn't care either: WMOB 1360 runs day power,
every night. My local Spanish outfit on 810 signs on like it is June (!)
WMOB got fined for it. And he stood there and told the FCC he was still going
to do it.. (!!)

The CRTC actually yanked licenses of a handful of habitual offenders (and some
that didn't quite deserve it IMO).
I wonder if I've logged WMOB - think so...

I *think* Allen Willie reported it from Newfoundland. But from mainland - or

Nice catch,regardless.

Definitely heard in Newfoundland in 2011, and perhaps earlier than that. In
2011 it was markedly stronger - a new transmitter I believe. Several dozen
other Indians heard from there, though I did better in 2010 as I recall.
Of course, Sylvain's reception is all the more remarkable because he
Jim Renfrew, Holley NY
John Herkimer in nearby Caledonia NY sent me a message that he is hearing
WCKL 560 on 2800, 3920 and 5040 kHz. I just tried for it and the 2800 is
quite strong, 3920 weaker, and 5040 blocked by an international broadcaster.
Sounds like NOS/Oldies.
I wish that would happen in western MA., the only way to hear Gospel music
is on comcast. Jim

Then what needs to happen is for the FCC to take that station off once and for
all, and revoke his license. Thumbing your nose at authority will always come
around to bite you in the backside, and he needs to be taught a lesson.
