[IRCA] KFBK

2012-02-27 Thread Todd
I did not know that KFBK is constructed in the way Scott described. I would imagine only 33% of our list is aware of the technical marvels that the radio world offers. I fall into the radio technically challenged lol. However since I love this hobby soon much, I would love to try to understand.

[IRCA] KFBK 1530 back on night IBOC

2007-11-08 Thread Patrick Martin
I noticed tonight that KFBK 1530 is running IBOC, doing a number on 1540 especially on KXPA. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions ex

Pat, I checked around midnight. KFBK seemed to have IBOC on BUT it was nowhere as strong as the first few days (as you noted). I could hear a hiss below the stations on 1520 & 1540 but it was not too annoying. Worse was KMJ Fresno on 580 creating a mess on 590 & to a lesser degree 570. KOGO

Bob, I will see if KFBK continues to leave it off. If so, I will write them. However, KXPA is not in my listening area. Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/li

Mike, KFBK's HD seems to be off tonight, or so weak I cannot detect it. KFBK has a huge signal to the North. KGO is still huge with HD tonight too. Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotala

Hi Mike: Not sure if 1540 KXPA complained, since they didn't answer my email. However, 820 KGNW did respond! I talked to their technical manager today, who said he is going to come out to near my QTH some night in the next few days (they have a couple other transmitters he needs to check

Patrick, I have been listening while driving to work around 0300, and KFBK does not generate anywhere near as much IBOC noise (at 80 miles or so) as KEX does at 800 miles. LA is strong on 1540 with KFBK IBOC in the background, and Port Hueneme is usually above the hiss on 1520. Except fo
