Hi Group & Happy Easter On 1660 kHz, for the last week or so, I have been hearing classical music, which according to the NRC Radio Directory, can only be KXTR in Kansas City, KS. This is relatively weak signal that tends to drift in and out, and I am inside a circle of stations from North Dakot

Hi group, While reviewing my DX session from last night, I believe I also heard Radio Reloj's familiar top of the minute marking "RR" in Morse Code on 960. No other RF information was heard, just three sets of RR's spaced a minute apart over WFIR in Roanoke Virginia. Any ideas please? 73/Joe

Great answer, Patrick, at one time I had complete listing of the NDB beacons in North America, so I would have been able to look it up. Between a partial data on an older computer several years ago, I probably don't have it any more. So if anyone knows where I can an up-to-date listing, I would be

Hi Patrick and the group South of me by about ten miles, I get Morse Code on 1680 on my car radio. Turned out to be a mixing product of a local airport beacon on 338 + a local MW station on 1340. Hope this helps. 73 Joe Miller, KD8DLU, Troy, MI -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello group, Not a lot of time for DX tonight, but managed a new one during the gray line propagation: WKMI, 1360, Kalamazoo, MI, 3/30/07, 06:58 PM EDT. I think I was hearing 2-3 stations. Had a brief surge when pointing my loop antenna due west, and heard a Meijer ad, station ID and ABC news at

Hi Chuck, George and the group, Re: What the FCC did was say what their new policy will be. To go from "here's what we think" to "actual policy" requires, amongst other things, that they publish their new policy. It will likely be several months before stations actually get legal Approval to use

FWIW, I agree with both Chuck and Dave. For FM signals, the capture effect will only demodulate the strongest signal on a particular frequency. You may have to orient your antenna to tune in the strongest signal though. 73/Joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PRO

Hi Patrick & the group 1968 was the year of my first QSL, CFRX in Toronto. I used to read some of the magazines at that time, but I don't think I ever saw any references to IRCA at that time. Just wished that I had known of them back then. 73 Joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED
