Checked the bands as I drove into the hospital at 04:40 local. Nothing noted, and especially on 740 (looking for Tahiti). On the plus side, a lovely sunrise while I waited for yet another baby! 73, Walt Salmaniw On Sun, Nov 8, 2015 at 7:28 AM, R. Colin Newell

[IRCA] HAWAIIAN REPORT

My wife, DX-398 and I spent the last two weeks in Kailua - Kona on the west coast of the Big Island. All Hawaiian AM stations were audible. Comments: 1. KRTR-650 was off the air from our arrival 10/26 through 11/5. It was noted back on with Filipino programming on 11/6. 2. KEWE-1240 was the

Re: [IRCA] CBU 690 to be off air 3 hours next weekend

I wonder if that "time off" is an error. Seems very strange to shut off a transmitter in morning prime time. Worth looking into! On Sun, Nov 8, 2015 at 5:09 PM, Walter Salmaniw wrote: > The daytime outage will severely limit any usefulness to DX on 690. > Thanks, Eric for

Re: [IRCA] CBU 690 to be off air 3 hours next weekend

This is an important event! Not sure on what level, but it would allow us crystal clear reception of whatever else is on 690khz. And now for a slight exaggeration: When there is a technical failure of virtually any AM or FM transmitter in B.C. (and likely in any other Province...) resources for

Re: [IRCA] CBU 690 to be off air 3 hours next weekend

So what would've changed in the Tofino case (has FM even started yet in Ucluelet?)? How has Mother Corp 'serviced' outlier tx's in the past, say on Vancouver Island before there was even a local originating studio in Victoria? As for 6160, both CKZU and CKZN danced around the frequency for

Re: [IRCA] CBU 690 to be off air 3 hours next weekend

The daytime outage will severely limit any usefulness to DX on 690. Thanks, Eric for alerting us, though. 73, Walt On Sunday, November 8, 2015, R. Colin Newell wrote: > This is an important event! Not sure on what level, but it would allow > us crystal clear reception

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-8

Asian big guns made a halfhearted recovery this morning after being MIA for a couple of days, but the second tier TP's took another morning off. 594, 693, 747, 972 and 1566 managed a few minutes of fair audio at times around 1440 but it was obvious from the start that this session wouldn't

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on November 8

The TPs returned today after several days' absence. Nonetheless, it was just a half dozen of the regulars. JOUB was at near-local strength for a while. Other than that, it was a decidedly unexciting morning. The best reception was between 1330 and 1400, or about an hour before local

[IRCA] CBU 690 to be off air 3 hours next weekend

I just caught part of the announcement -- it seems that next Sunday 15th (or Saturday 14th), CBU-690 will be off the air from 0910 to 1210 PST. I was distracted and could not focus on the whole of it, but think I have it right. Their other signal (88.1) will remain on FWIW ef

[IRCA] THE OTHER HAWAIIAN REPORT

The previous report covered Hawaiian stations; this one covers what else I heard. First, Colin, we stayed at Waikoloa Village 10/26-31 and Kona Coast Resort 11/1-6. North American reception is pretty well blocked by the rather large mountains; electrical noise at both places didn’t help much

Re: [IRCA] Early Nov 9 TP's - Victoria

Nothing in Central California with no fancy radios or outdoor antennas. I'd fall over dead if I had anything this early. I'm glad the late evening/very early morning TP DX idea is working out. I listened then because nobody was reporting anything. 774 is probably all I'll ever log here. No

Re: [IRCA] THE OTHER HAWAIIAN REPORT

KMYC's website shows a 24/7 conservative talk lineup. KZDG is very likely your 1550. It would have been on day pattern, which sends everything to the west and northwest. It does a lot of strange stuff. When DXing on Maui DU was fairly common; even on some rental car radios. In late September

Re: [IRCA] CBU 690 to be off air 3 hours next weekend

I'm thinking that they'll be doing antenna, and/or transmitter repairs. For this, I'm sure they'd prefer daylight hours, so with 690 secondary to 88.1 (remember, the plan had been to close 690 completely, when they brought 88.1 on), I don't think it's such a big deal to the CBC brass. 73,...Walt
