[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 19 February 2016

A complete bust here this morning as far as Asia or DU went, but enjoyed a good upper band opening to Hawaii. Actually my best Hawaiian morning of the season. 1420 KKEA, Honolulu Tough reception through KUJ with ESPN programming, and definite KKEA call ID at 1400. New here. 1460

Apparently there are a couple apps for those frequencies. Probably some Ethnic station, another Punjabi? I am sure we really need that. not! Patrick - count your blessings! If you think these guys are loud down your way, you should hear them up here...and as broad as a barn door with huge

Re: [IRCA] The CRTC to start hearing on AM & FM apps for the BC Lower Mainland

Here in the states, I wish AM's would realize that. We could do with a 50% reduction ion AM stations and still have plenty. I am hoping I will live long enough to see the AM dial return to what it once was. It is way too jammed. Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager > Date: Fri, 19 Feb

Re: [IRCA] The CRTC to start hearing on AM & FM apps for the BC Lower Mainland

Will likely lead no where. No one in their right mind would put the money into an AM station -- FM or online streaming. The future for us DXer's is a very lean medium wave with lots of big clear channel stations and better opportunities to DX what is left of AM worldwide. On Fri, Feb 19, 2016

Re: [IRCA] The CRTC to start hearing on AM & FM apps for the BC Lower Mainland

Interesting that 900 was the former Victoria, Camosun College station that went silent a few years ago. Personally, I'd be surprised if anyone takes the frequencies, as AM is dying much more rapidly in Canada compared to the US. If it is taken, it'll be an ethnic station. 73, Walt On Fri, Feb

I just read that the CRTC will start hears on several AM & FM apps for the Lower Mainland, including 900 and 600. So who knows how long those frequencies will remain open. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

Kaz, I will have a couple of these remote terminators built by the end of April for cabin (wx permitting) and desert "broadband F/B" evaluation. Cheers! Mark Durenberger On The Road Again -Original Message- From: Neil Kazaross Sent: Friday, February 19, 2016 3:15 PM To: Mailing list

Re: [IRCA] Fwd: Grayland Fishbarrel

Indeed it is GRF Gary. I realized early this morning that it only shows on the ALA100 phased array when I have that connected (the DKaz is deaf on LW), so went down there to check, and 'GRF' beacon is reasonably strong, though not overpowering. best wishes, Nick On Fri, Feb 19, 2016 at 2:54

The 216 kHz signal is undoubtedly 216-GRF, an NDB pest in Fort Lewis (now called JBLM, in between Tacoma and Olympia). It is the strongest NDB pest on the entire band here in Puyallup.   Gary   - Original Message - From: "Chuck Hutton" To: "Mailing list for the

Re: [IRCA] Fwd: Grayland Fishbarrel

Thanks for putting that up Nick. Sitting in the room next to you it’s nice to be able to graphically illustrate the ‘miracle’ that is Grayland. ;-) I would remind people that it takes more than a couple of blue bars to make an ‘audible’ signal though. In comparing bars to ears I’m guessing,

Never been heard at Grayland, and a west facing DKAZ would make it even less likely. But never say never. Chuck From: IRCA on behalf of Paul B. Walker, Jr. Sent: Friday, February 19, 2016
