Re: [IRCA] DX last night - one new some unID's and oddballs

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

1380 C&W was not WRAB, per Archie Anderson at the station.  I will email
Brantford, ON, if I can find a contact link.

73,
Dave in Indy

PS - Maybe a recent Format Change?  Seemed more WSW-ENE anyway. dh

Thanks KAZ.  I emailed WRAB.  I got a "permanent delivery error" from my
mail server BUT I also got a "thanks for your email" automated reply
from them, that they will be getting back with me. :)  Odd, it
permanently failed but still went out?!  WRAB's website did not have a
"listen live" link, so I'll wait for a response.  BTW - their website
looks like something that I developed for Anderson Speedway back in 1995
- kind of mom and pop-ish. :)

I do not know about WMOB as I only recently added them to my logbook
about ten days ago.  They were not on their day rig at night per se, but
they were not 100% legal.  They fired up their full power PSRA at 5 AM
CST, an hour too soon.  Last night they may have been on the day rig
late - and I still believe that many station's automation have choked on
this year's DST switch and that is why so many right now are "cheating"
for lack of a better term.

Speaking of 1360, my situation sounds like your situation with 1380 and
St. Louis.  For decades, Cincinnati has dominated my reception of 1360
during the day, sunset and sunrise periods and at night - though at
night they were not as dominant.  I do not know if their facilities have
changed or it's the better nulling of my ULR's but Cincy is not the
bother that it has been in the past.  Maybe you should pull some ground
wire's out of the St. Louis stations setup - or buy a $40 ULR. :)

73 and Thanks!

Dave in Indy

Checking 100000watts.com and some websites, I think your 1380 Classic
C&W is more likely WRAB rather than ON. As for Mexican, likely WTOB or
maybe WHEW (isnt WHEW supposed to be on at night?) I need to spend more
time on 1380 looking south, but St Louis is always a bother.

Re WMOB, they'd been behaving for a year or two, but are they running
day rig at night again?  73 KAZ 35 miles NW of Chicago
