[IRCA] New ULR logs (incl. 1000 Mex and Colombia)

["Saul Chernos" <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This 5-day trip to Burnt River did not yield much time to DX, but I did 
spend some time on the ULR and regular rig.

New logs on the ULR inlcude 980 WV Weston, which checks with bluegrass and, 
more to the point, an announcement mentioning Lewis County Hospital. It's 
brutal getting around CKRU Peterborough ON, my worst semi-local, but the 
Prison radio did this as well or maybe better at times than the longwire
or Radio Shack loop on the sangean ATS909 portable. This at sunset a few 
days ago. I see they have upped their daytime power ina  big way.

Also new last night was an echo of rebelde's baseball game on 670. Not sure 
where the second one is, but one has been previously reported, and noted on 
Bruce Conti's site.

The other new log, 1350 WZGM in NC, was noted on the sangean and south wire, 
very weak, but managed oldies and two call letter IDs. The channel was a 
real mess.

Notable relogs but heard on the Prison Radio: 930 "Pirate Radio" in NC. 
Doing very well and only the second or third time heard, ever! I would not 
have had the energy to get out of bed, and would not have heard WBIX test 
without the Prison radio. It was equal to KYW, with some Mexico City in 
there, too. If not for the ULR, I'd not have noted WMVP off. Stumbled to my 
main rig, logged Colombia and an unID Latin, and nothing more. Heard the
same Colombian on the ULR and also got ID on Mexico. Both relogs. I did hear 
the words "en Colon" additionally / separately on the larger rig, in what 
seemed to be an ID, but can find no station in a place called Colon. The 
Prison radio did a decent job at wiping bad splatter from CKRU 980.

After a long day, when I am too tired to sit at the radio table, there is 
NOTHING like lying in bed with the ULR, catching new stations! Too lazy for 
words.
