Re FM DX log of WRVQ 94.5, Greg Hardison replies: ``I checked the WRVQ entry on Radio-Locator, and sho' 'nuff, it jives out there as 200 kW! I expected a bit of Corporate-Radio BS, perhaps counting 100 kW twice, as in H + V modulation. So then checked it on the FCC FM Query page: same deal, logging in at 200 kW. Apparently it must pay to have connections, hi hi! And it's no real surprise to hear a spot mentioning "the Beach". Much of my family's from that part of the planet, and there is a good amount of commercial-and-leisure trans-traffic up & down I-64 between Richmond and the Hampton Roads area; much more so than one sees between Rchmd and D.C., which is only about forty miles further away. As for the "ad" on the Liberty Univ. Outlet, remember, the RW extremists are above any mere laws, so if they are not divinely struck down while airing commercials below 92 MHz, then it must be all good! :^)> :^)>`` A few FM stations, notably in Michigan, were ``grandfathered`` in with excessive powers. I just went thru all 634 MI stations in WTFDA FMDB, and found only these super-powers: 93.7 320/320 kW ERP WBCT Grand Rapids 104.3 190/190 kW ERP WOMC Detroit 105.7 265/265 kW ERP WSBW Grand Rapids And of the 515 VA stations, only one other >100/100 kW ERP: 99.1 190.9/190.9 kW ERP WSLQ Roanoke I wonder if they acquired over-powered transmitter(s?) and/or greater antenna gain? But especially how they justified greater coverage than competitors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, June 23 at 0625, RV is active JBA. The 40m band now is crammed with hams for Field Day & Night?! Right now they are far enough from 7260 not to be a problem: LSB on 7259, 7263. Normally 40m LSB hams avoid the higher reaches anyway, more and more below 7250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. MUF spike to 107 MHz NW of here per DXMAP before 0200 UT June 23, after a day mostly below 88 since big morning Es opening I mostly missed; so out to the car for bandscan: nothing much, but 89.5, an ``open for DX`` frequency except for ACI, has something JBA on it: I rarely even trace KWGS Tulsa. Seems like ID at 0159, ``This is CF---`` something and shortly gospelhuxterism mentioning prophecy, body of Christ, etc. Any clues at WTFDA FM DB? After 0230 it`s inaccessible, `Bad Gateway`, server overload. So I pull out the final FM Atlas from 2010y: only 3 stations in western Canada, AB and BC, none of them with CF-calls. O, WRTH 2024 shows that has not changed much, nor in SK, MB. Meanwhile DXMAP shows paths between OK and WA, nexus over WY, grrr. Next day by 1538 UT June 23, FMDB is back in biz: of the 28 Canadians on 89.5, the only CF- prefix is in Goose Bay. Is there a marginal religious 89.5 around here? Yes, 23.5 kW KJCC Carnegie OK which I have rarely logged; and three further translators in OKC, Elk City, and Felt at far end of Panhandle. In KS, xltrs in Topeka, Parsons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1954 UT June 23 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
