I have observed that airport related TIS seem to be going away for lack of public interest. The one for LAX was decommissioned more than 10 years ago. It takes regular daily time and effort from a duty person to record updates and current useful information. The vast majority of travelers get t

Thanks to all - guess I will call someone local who can tear themselves away from FT8 long enough to check 1610 and see if they can hear it -at least I now know the license is still active Hank K7HP - On Jul 5, 2020, at 2:46 PM, Tree wrote: | You can find some of them in the FCC datab

Starting earlier this spring and for the last few months both Nick and a few others have piqued my interest in MW BCB DXing and listening to these low-power TIS stations. I have found that a reliable channel is 1710 kHz were I have been able to copy both WQFG Hudson County NJ, and also Travis A

Nick - very nice list!! However, once again, it doesn't seem to list the one near me. Seems like some of these might be operating without a proper license? Tree On Sun, Jul 5, 2020 at 2:04 PM Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > You might also check: > > https://www.ircaonline.org/editor_upload/File/TIS_

You can find some of them in the FCC database, but the one nearest me doesn't seem to be in the list. https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/am-query Just click the single frequency box and enter 1610. Tree N6TR On Sun, Jul 5, 2020 at 1:17 PM HP wrote: > Where is the place to see active 1610 station

Where is the place to see active 1610 stations - I used to hear the one for Sky Harbour A/P here in Phoenix - but no more -hope not just further evidence of incredible increase in noise in last 5 years or so. Hank K7HP - On Jul 5, 2020, at 8:53 AM, Richard (Rick) Karlquist wrote: |

Any BCB radio with a ferrite bar antenna can usually null out power line "noise", etc. Of course, that noise/QRN is not the proverbial Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Maybe you meant to say "noise isn't always AWGN". 73 Rick N6RK On 7/5/2020 3:34 AM, Rob Atkinson wrote: Tnx for clarifica

Tnx for clarification. > I don't know what "noise is usually AM" means. Hi, I guess I was thinking of RFI from appliances and arcing contacts on power lines. 73 Rob K5UJ _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
