[IRCA] Request for photo submissions for IRCA Beta site

In lieu of any strenuous objections to the overall look and feel of the "beta" IRCA site, I would like to request (on the suggestion of Nick Hall-Patch) the submission of hobby related photos to build header images on the beta site. Images that I need to use are generally around 1250 X 450

Re: [IRCA] not WBOB-600

No luck here either, unless I can eventually pull some code or something out of the SDR recording. The Art Bell is probably KCOL, which has been mostly on top of the channel here since 6pm, moreso than usual even with my Superloop pointed east. Brian Rachford - Prescott, AZ azswdx...@gmail.com

Re: [IRCA] not WBOB-600

Very similar here, a very strong CJWW, KCOL coming up every so often with Art Bell, and KOJM's IBOC noise. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta On 09/01/2016 10:41 PM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: Heh, not here...CJWW playing old time country that would be good material for a DX test. Art Bell

Forgot about the broadcast for the first 45 minutes, as I was installing a new Mac for my wife. Darn. Anyway, I'm hearing KCOL with iHeart Radio ID after 06:00 UTC and country music. There is someone else cochannel underneath, but I can't make it out. Thought that I might have heard a sweep

Some of the code and sweeps between 0600 and 0630 UTC were at a fairly decent level here, so it's definitely worth a shot on the coast. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta On 09/01/2016 11:23 PM, R. Colin Newell wrote: Gonna try with my n/s Wellbrook and W-Flag for what it's worth -

Walt I just heard a nice clear KCOL ID a couple of minutes ago (maybe around 0638 UT). It's dominant here in Seattle, with a trace of something in the background. That's on the 150 degree lobe of the K9AY. I've mostly been doing unattended recording so far, so there might be more there
