Convention '98 Updater.
Interest in next year's Convention has brought intentions of attendance
from>Scotland, England, Finland, Hawaii as well as Australia and New
Zealand.
Just to remind everyone, here is a tentative schedule of what is planned
so far:
The Convention is being held at Camp Iona, which is located near the
township of Herbert, about 20km South of Oamaru on SH 1. It is being held
over Waitangi Weekend so Friday the 6th is a public holiday. Camp Iona
consists of a large hall where we will have our meals and auction,
workshops, discussions etc. A large "Lodge" fully self-contained and
reserved for our older members, several accomodation blocks, similar to
motor-camp cabin standards and several ablutions areas as well as ample
ground for aerials and an obstacle course.
Thursday 5th February:
3:00pm Convention officially begins. Welcome, afternoon tea and a
general chat and get to know each other session.
Friday 6th February
To be advised
Saturday 7th February
7:00am - 12:00 pm to be advised
12:00pm Meet at Boulders Park Restaurant for 50th Anniversary
Commemorative meal & speeches, then back to Camp Iona for afternoon
tea and reminiscences
Rest of day to be advised
Sunday 8th February
7:00am onwards
9:00am Official Convention close
12:00pm Premises vacated
We have a few items lined up to "fill in the blanks" including an
auction, a night-time visit to Oamaru's Little Blue penguin colony, scenic
trips to Shag Point, Moeraki, Trotter's Gorge, Puketapu, a quiz night, game
of cricket, trip to top of Mt Stalker for FM enthusiasts, Church Service
etc. We are also organising guest speakers on topics like "DXing and the
Internet", a visit from the guys at Mainland Radio, etc.
The Convention registration fee has yet to be set, it will be around
NZ$75 per person and will cover all meals at Camp Iona and the Commemorative
Lunch as well as accomodation. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag,
pillows, blankets etc. NB: You will need to bring your headphones - you MUST
use these when listening to avoid disturbing others!
Please let us know if:
- you only want to attend on certain days or for certain events, e.g. the
Commemorative Dinner, your fee will be charged accordingly.
- you would like arrangements to be collected of dropped off in Oamaru on
arrival/departure via bus, train etc
- you would rather opt for a little more comfort and stay at a nearby motel
(we can send you details of these).
A full registration form will be published shortly. If you have any
further enquiries, please write to Convention '98...

990 CBW MB Winnipeg 08/25 1825 Finished up the World at Six and then
did a run down of programs coming up on CBC Radio One and Radio
Two. These are the new names for the CBC English networks.
Radio One will be for the most part the old AM network (except
in places like Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City where they are
going from AM to FM). Radio Two will be the old CBC Stereo
network. As of Sept 1 Radio One and Radio Two will be the new
ID's. (Axelrod-MB)
COMMENTS
Well nothing like a name change to confuse DX'ers. The two new ID's do not
become official until Sept 1 but they are using them now on and off to get
we CBC die hards used to the new names. Quite a good idea as they try to
avoid FM and AM networks that are no longer just on one band or the other.
the three cities above in the recetion report all have been given CRTC
approval to move to FM from AM. That will free up two Canadian clears!
Should be nice for the AM DX'ers out East. Start counting your new ones
ladies and gents!!!

570 WLLE NC Raleigh - 8/23 1030 and beyond - Local WLLE-570 in Raleigh,
NC has been off the air since at least Saturday, August 23.
I've asked a friend at the newspaper to look into the
situation; he promised to, but I haven't heard back from him
yet. If this station is gone, it's goodbye to the only
listenable AM station in town. WLLE has been a locally-owned
voice of the black community, with lots of public service
programming, personable air talent, and excellent classic soul
and current R&B (in the old sense of the term). WNNC dominates
all day in its absence. (JN-NC)
570 WTEM MD Bethesda - 8/23 2300 - Solicitation for ad salespeople: "Must
have six months experience", ESPN net feed, "Sportstalk 570"
non-ids. Good in WLLE absence. (JN-NC)

AM 1060 KPAY is finally dark. am1290 has taken its place complete with KPAY
as the identifier... I don't know if the callsign change has been made. This
station going dark is clearing the way for AM1050 in San Francisco.
A really obnoxious sports-talk stn, calling itself "The Ticket." (KPAY was
one of my very first veries, around 1961.)
Bay Area TIS stations heard this past week (which may have been reported
already, but here they are), on my ICF-7600g.
530
KTB-373 Orinda "This is radio station KTB-373 operated by the Orinda Fire
Protection District." That's all. Loop repeated endlessly. Hrd 8/24, 1012
PLT.
KNXA-832?? Oakland Coliseum Very muddy, hrd w/rx at right angles to Orinda
stn. Info about parking, alcohol policy, tickets.
840
"Cal-Trans Highway Advisory Radio, WPVW(?)-721, serving Marin County and
parts of Contra Costa County." Re freeway construction on Hwy 101 and I-580.
(The 101 offramp to 580/Richmond-San Rafael Bridge is in central San
Rafael.) "This is only a test." Short loop.
1610 Berkeley
"1610-AM, the Traffic Advisory and Information station for the City of
Berkeley." Woman with local info on fire danger, street construction. Hrd
8/24 with a tape advising "street paving is scheduled to begin August 7."
Obviously not updated in weeks.

Chris Knight - dxer1@xxxxxxxx
I just made it back from a week long trip to Mexico (DF and Puebla) for
business. I got my work done in about a day and a half, which gave me some
time to play around on the radio and look for changes to the IRCA Mexican
Log and make some loggings. The radio used was the GE Superadio. I spent 3
nights in Puebla and 1 night in Mexico City. The only non-Mexican stations
heard were 530-RVC (weak), 740-KTRH, and 1030-KCTA - all from Puebla. There
was also a strong English station on 610kHz. This was probably Houston. I
noted some changes to the Mexican Log, but was very pleased to say that the
log was quite accurate for this part of the country. There were more changes
in the Mexico City area than in Puebla. A lot of information was copied from
the local phone books which also listed Network info along with slogans and
call signs. It was neat to hear Radio Mil on 1000kHz extremely strong (and
splattering somewhat) with the 4-noted whistle and "Es Rad-yo Mil" jingle.
If any of you ever get down to Mexico City, I highly recommend eating at a
Restaurant called Pocolare in Zona Rosa. There was non-stop entertainment
ranging from Aztec dances to Norteqa groups. (The Margaritas were good,
too!) Keep you eyes peeled for upcoming loggings in the local bulletins
(IRCA and NRC). 73, Chris
