I got home about 4:40 PM, Sunday afternoon and the KKXA was still going on. It went off I guess around 5:30 or thereabouts. I started a CD recording immediately and just before KKXA went back to hybrid mode, the audio popped in with Forever and Ever Amen by Randy Travis for about 10 seconds, and

The job has had me away for the past week, but reading reports of others, it doesn't sound like I missed much. Today was a decent morning, with a lot of carriers, though only the regulars managed any audio. Listened between 1255 at 1330, hearing audio on 693, 747, 774 and 828 from Japa

I got home a bit ago and KKXA is running full digital mode. Even with KGDD QRMing, the digital carrier locked on, but so far no audio. But the CD is running, so I have not checked in a few minutes, but I will be surprised if I get any. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

2014-10-05 Thread Lawrence Stoler
I totally agree with your analysis of why Disney is getting out, how they paid too much for the stations and in the end, many of them will become brokered facilities. They paid $40 million for WQEW. It was an LMA which lasted for eight years. They won't get that today. Larry Stoler -Origi

These two are so common and often dominant on my western antenna system here in IL that I don't mention them. This season it seems that at least one station per night and sometimes several on 1530 are misbehaving. KCMN has a CH power and I think some nights they use it. 73 KAZ Barrington IL --

I think Disney wants to get out of the network business. Networks are a headache. Programming KDIS alone will be far easier and much less expensive than a network. It paid way too much for some of the stations. A lot of money was spent on broadbanding to make HD easier to configure and maintain

Tahiti still came through with a bit of audio on 738 on Saturday morning, good enough to match their webstream. 702 was also in with about a minute of weak and muffled audio, but slop from 700 was too great to overcome when 702 peaked. This morning 738 had threshold audio - music actually, ju

Rick, Your description of the HD audio fits mine the same too. I was not impressed. I have no idea if this is what we are stuck with, or this is in the adjusting stage. I know of an CE that complained years ago that the audio from HD bothered his ears and he had trouble listening to it, If I re

Too bad. Last night would have been perfect for KKXA. I couldn't even hear a trace of KGDD. KKXA seemed louder than mormal, but not as loud as KGDD often is. I wonder if that's going to nix KKXA's daytime test as well. -- Rick -Original Message- From: IRCA [mailto:irca-boun...@hard-core-dx
