 HOT ITEMS

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

I will stop publishing the NewsFlash in a few months (by September).  As 
the concept of an email newsletter for AM DXers has been proven, it is 
time for me to concentrate my time on other projects (SDXM, sticker 
collecting, WWI airplane modeling, etc).

IRCA publishes its email newsletter 35+ times/year (I edit this too!!).  
You may want to consider joining the IRCA and receive its email 
newsletter, the "soft" DX Monitor (SDXM).  Price to the world is - 
$10.00/year.  Send to:  IRCA HQ, PO Box 1831, Perris CA  92572-1831

Someone has volunteered to start another newsletter to replace the 
NewsFlash.  You will be asked to subscribe to the new newsletter as I 
will not be passing on my distribution list.

  Mega Radio - 630.  After initial transmitter-tests last week the 
station was off. But today the programme commenced. Signal on 630 kHz is 
about 2-3 dB weaker than the DLF on 756 kHz, indicating 100 kW. Level of 
mixing-products here is low, only 1386 kHz (756 + 630) is effected. 
Surprisingly no 2nd Harmonic on 1260 audible, while the DLF on 756 kHz 
produces a strong 2nd harmonic on 1512 kHz.
  Transmitter is located near the A2 highway Hannover-Berlin east of 
Braunschweig where the A39 leaves to Wolfsburg.

  DST in most of Mexico started May 6, so UT-5 in the Central zone areas 
including XEG (except Chihuahua, I believe), as reported recently in DX 
LISTENING DIGEST, and WORLD OF RADIO.

  WTAL 1450 in Tallahassee, FL returned to the air on May 13.  On May 14 
they resumed their talk format..  Syndicated shows include Don Imus, G. 
Gordon Liddy, Dr. Laura, and Tom Leykis from the promos I heard them 
airing.  They were talk before going silent last December.  Several of 
their shows were lost to other stations in the market.  Clear Channel's 
sports talker WNLS 1270 added Rush Limbaugh to its schedule about two 
months ago, and religious WCVC 1330 picked up several of WTAL's local 
talk hosts.  WTAL is also airing some adult standards on weekends.
  WTAL was purchased by John Wiggins of Unique Broadcasting in Nashville, 
TN and the station manager is Fred Willis.  The station went silent after 
losing their transmitter site to the developers of a new shopping center. 
They are now transmitting from a tower on Tallahassee's north side that 
was used by WANM 1070 (now WFRF).  Fred Willis is also manager of 
Unique's new sign-on WJHW 101.9, 40 miles north in Bainbridge, GA.

  KDBZ-610-Portland has been operating for several months from the KEX 
site in SE Portland. They are ND 5/1 KW. They wanted 50 KW but the FCC 
said no. 
  KXL-750 is directional to the West, but KEX-1190 is ND day, but 
directional nights. 1640 does not get out well, even with 10 KW. We had 
an apt. in NW Portland for a while. At 2 miles from their transmitter 
site, I could hear KDIA under them at night without any trouble. Their 1 
KW sounded more like 250w and the 10KW days sounds more like 1 KW.

**Tony S - WLMCBuzzed@xxxxxxx

  Miami's newest AM now seems to be on the air and at full power.
  WRHB/1020 (licensed to Kendall) is identifying itself as "Radio 
Carnivale", and features an all Haitian-Creole (nonbrokered) format...For 
now, the format seems to consist of just music, with announcements thrown 
in anywhere, like over the music....
  I'd love to hear if anyone is successful in DXing the station.

 600  WREC  Memphis, TN... I got this one at night off of El Salvador/ 
       Panama border 300+ miles west in the Pacific on my DX-398 
       barefoot. I was surprised.... glad to hear an EE  US Station out 
       that way having been away so far from home. At that point even Art 
       Bell sounds almost like a scholar. I'm content to hear ANYTHING. I 
       was afraid in a daydream that I'd only hear SS stations coming 
       from the US out that way... wouldn't THAT figure? LOL...

 945  Latvia, 300+/- miles, fair-poor
 963  Poro, Finland, 200 miles, good
1179  Solvesborg, Sweden, 320 miles, fair after they boosted power to 600 
       kw at 1600 UTC, inaudible otherwise
1350  Latvia, 300+/- miles, weak

That was it... a world-class city, the capital of a major country, and I

miles away!

**Bruce Conti - Nashua NH - BACONTI@xxxxxxx

  Transatlantic DX was fairly decent last night (May 19, 0300-0400 UTC).  
France was blasting in at 1206 kHz.  England-1089 produced a strong het 
against WBAL 1090 although I couldn't get solid audio, but then Virgin 
Radio on 1215 had good audio with rock hits.  France also noted on 1377 
with a het against a good St. Pierre-1375 signal, and 1404, 1494, and 
1557.  Spain logged on 1296, 1305, 1314, 1359, 1413, 1485, and 1575.  
Weak audio noted toward 0400 UTC on 1467 probably from France.  Good 
transatlantic reception should continue tonight.

**Rick Kenneally - Wilton, CT - woodlandview@xxxxxxxxx

  I tried early and late evening, but nothing significant here.  St. 
Pierre, the usual indicator of high-level openings, was a het only - no 
audio coming through.  Nothing else heard from the stations that were 
strong here back on 4/17.

**Paul V McDonough - pmcdonou@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

  5/20. Today, courtesy of a traffic jam on the expressway through Boston 
going north from Braintree at around 5pm, I scanned the 1600+ kHz band 
for stations while near and in Boston. I heard two new stations on 1620 
and 1690 kHz and a possible ID on a mystery station on 1670 kHz.
  1620 kHz was booming in on the car radio around Morrissey(sp?) 
Boulevard in Dorchester. Had Carribean-type music and definite French-
related language by DJ (French-Haitian-Creole?). Both me and my wife 
heard an ID that sounded something like "Radio Energie" (Energy?") by 
male at 5:10pm local.
  1690 kHz was also heard in Dorchester. Heard at 5:20pm local with 
unknown artist doing an EE cover of Stevie Wonder's song "This Time Could 
Mean Goodbye". Couldn't ID announcer's language due to noise. Heard this 
station stronger south of the Chinatown tunnel on Route 93 than north.
  Heard presumed Allston-Brighton Free Radio (ABFR) in EE on 1670 kHz 
coming in near the Fleet Center. Was playing an English taped speech.
  But as I drove farther north on Route 93, ABFR faded out and my mystery 
station on 1670 kHz with music faded in (sounded like French-Creole). At 
5:35pm, I heard the woman announcer say something like "Rah-dee-oh Pah-
chey" (Radio Pace meaning Radio Peace?). Then went into unknown artist's 
cover of Cyndi Lauper's "All Through the Night" in UNID language.
  Who knew you could have a mini-DXpedition in your car in Boston?
  So next time you're in a traffic jam, check the 1600 kHz band. I heard 
5 stations (1620 Energy?, 1640 Nouveaute(p), 1670 Allston-Brighton(p) and 
Pace(?), and 1690 UNID). I used to hate traffic jams. :-)

**Rick Kenneally - Wilton, CT - woodlandview@xxxxxxxxx

  OC on 1640 - no WKSH-WI
  Went through the tapes from this.  WKSH apparently stayed off for much 
of the night - sometimes with open carrier and sometimes off entirely. 
The frequency was mush because of the mass of slightly off-frequency HAR 
stations. At about 0015 ELT a brief segment of hip hop or urban 
contemporary music rose up out of mush.  Though I was hoping for the west 
coast, my guess is this was probably the low power Haitian programming 
station in Dorchester, MA.
  Around 0300, the WKSH carrier was off, and there was an interesting 
batch of HAR stations all apparently carrying the same short closed loop.  
I kept hearing "... broadcast ... Highway Advisory Radio...", but one 
overlapping another as if there were at least 3 stations with the same 
tape but out of synch.  I'm assuming these are the new HARs with testing 
tapes in Pennsylvania.

**Pete Taylor - taytac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  Rick Kenneally, don't totally rule out the West Coast.  KPBC has 
frequently been heard with hip-hop sounding Contemporary Christian. 
However, they sign off at 0100 EDT.  KDIA is always dominant with EWTN. 
WKSH has been heard once, with both KPBC and KDIA off.

**Pat Martin - mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx

Yes, KPBC does run some Hip Hop Sounding Christian R&B in the evenings.

*Pat Martin - mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx

  Per the article done a couple months back by Bill Bowers of Oklahoma. I 
decided to find out if the 75 feet of RG58/59 was picking up signals. 
When I disconnected the antenna from the coax, yes I did hear some 
signals. However when connecting the receiver directly to the antenna 
through a 3 foot piece of coax (Yes I took the R8 outside), I found no 
different in the noise floor or the signal numbers on the S Meter or the 
directivity of the antennas. None. KXL-750-Portland OR and KPAM-860-
Portland both run 50 KW days. KXL is directional to the West and KPAM in 
ND. Both run right at S9+20 DB off the 1500 foot Eastern beverage during 
the day. With 75 feet of coax connected to the receiver inside the house 
or the three feet using the receiver at the antenna.  When connecting the 
coax to the antenna and the coax to receiver, it kind of nutalizes the 
signals not in the path of the Eastern Beverage as far as I can tell. 
Other than the locals, the very weak stuff off from the lobe of the 
beverage  are gone.  There is one "big" difference between Oklahoma and 
the Oregon Coast, the water in the Ground. I find the noise level to be 
much worse in dry areas like our place in Rancho Mirage CA (1 1/2 inches 
of rain a year) compared to Seaside (65-100 inches a year).
  I was thinking the coax might cause the noise level to increase 
somewhat, but I could find no difference. The only antenna I did not 
check was the 400' NNW wire with 150 feet of coax. There is no power over 
there and I did not want to haul a battery with me to run the R8.
  These tests were done on MW (530-1700 KHZ). At least here on the Oregon 
coast I find the coax to be fine in running my antennas. It might be 
different in a dryer climate.
  I did this test for two reasons. The first reason was to find of if my 
coax was affecting the directivity and noise floor. The second was to see 
if I was getting any loss in the coax. It has been out there a few years, 
but only maybe 10 feet is buried. The rest of it runs under the house 
totally shielded by the metal around the base of the house which is also 
grounded.

  In response to user demand, we've now added a one-click link to the 
Radio Netherlands Receiver Shopping List on the RN Home Page at 
www.rnw.nl. Click on the "Receiver Tests" graphic on the right hand side 
in the blue column.
  BTW yesterday we added Tom Sundstrom's review of the new Sony ICF-
SW7600GR portable.
  You can still access the Receiver Shopping List with a single click 
from the Media Network home page at www.medianetwork.nl
  One other thing: our Dutch transmission from Flevo on 9895kHz at 0500-
1700 UTC beamed to SW Europe was off the air today due to a technical 
problem. They were hoping to get it fixed today, so all being well things 
will be back to normal tomorrow. Just in case anyone noticed and was 
wondering :-)

**Klinger, Robert - rklinger@xxxxxxxxxxx

  Has anybody heard of and if so used an antenna called the "Tiny Tenna". 
I happen to come across a web site ( DWM Communications) and they 
advertise this type of antenna that works on AM/ FM/ SW and supposedly 
scanners as well. It only costs $19.95 plus s&h. They say........"The 
TINY-TENNA will often outperform more expensive amplified antennas. A 
Field Effect Transistor raises the signal WITHOUT generating noise or 
causing overload problems." Thoughts?????

  My layoff, your gain. Several radios for sale, some you have seen 
before, some not. 
  GE Superadio [ the first one ] This is one ugly unit. Has fine paint 
splatter on it in places, and missing the battery cover. I have it where 
the batteries stay in with no problem. A wood base was installed and 
painted black to hold the unit upright without tipping easily. If you can 
find the battery cover, this base is easily removed and the set will not 
tip. The antenna is not the original and has been replaced but if you 
think you want the broken one, I still have it. The earphone hole in the 
case has been opened up to accomodate modern headphones but needs an 
adaptor from mono to stereo. Now you know all the ugly stuff.
  Here's the good stuff. All the knobs are there and working perfect with 
no scratchiness. All the switches work fine. The antenna was replaced and 
although not the original its perfect. The dial lens is fine with no 
cracks. The AM reception is absolutely phenomenal and I do not believe 
that you can find better fidelity in any AM set. The tuning dial is dead 
nuts right on. The FM is unbelievable. It is the finest FM portable 
receiver I have ever used hands down. It is as sensitive and selective a 
set as I have ever used. Rick Lewis has used this radio and I am sure you 
can ask him what he thinks about it. 
  Its an ugly pup but WOW it KICKS-A for reception. If you buy it, you 
will NOT be disappointed in the reception in any way on AM or FM. The AM 
is good but the FM is even better. 
  Price for this guy, $35 plus $8 to ship. Believe me. The reception is 
excellent. The sound is great. 
  Grundig Traveller II 7 band travel radio. 3"X5". MW 520 - 1660, FM 87.5 
- 107.9, SW1 5.8 - 6.2 mHz, SW2 7.1 - 7.5 mHz, SW3 9.5 - 10 mHz, SW4 11.6 
- 12.1 mHz, SW5 15.1 - 15.6 mHz. Uses 3 AA batteries. Has a clock with 
home time and world time with alarm. Very nice and very compact travel 
radio $29 shipped anywhere in the US.
  Realistic TM-150 AM - FM - FM stereo tuner $18 with shipping and 
insurance in the US. AC only. Probably a good candidate for conversion to 
AM stereo.
  Zenith "Interoceanic" Royal 94 AM/FM/HF radio from 1958. Chassis built 
with discrete metal can top hat transistors plug in sockets. Covers 540 - 
1600 kc, 1.6 - 3.8 mc, 3.8 - 8.8 mc, 9.0 - 18 mc. It has a crack in the 
lens on the left side that has not increased in size in over 2 years. 
There is some waviness in the extruded metal grille over the speaker. It 
sounds like all Zenith radios of that era, muddy. There is an antenna 4 
feet long on it and it is perfect. I have a pic but the lens did not have 
the crack then. 
  $32 for the radio plus shipping. This radio weighs at least 8 lbs so 
expect about $10 in the US. 
  Panasonic RF-1200B AM/FM/MB/PSB/WX "Harbormaster" made in 1971. Have 
pic. AM 530 - 1600, MB 1.6 - 4.5 mHz, PSB 148 - 174 mHz. WX 162.55 mHz. 
AC or 4 C cells. Has lamp, squelch, antenna and ground connection, AFC, 
Local/DX switch, MPX out, earplug jack. Antenna is fine and radio is in 
very good shape. Almost mint. Bandselector may have to be cleaned but 
does work well. $38 shipped anywhere in the US.
