Re: [IRCA] Reply to Bill in BC and the Group (Allen Willie)

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

Thanks for the reply to Bill and the Group, Allen.

The 1070 Indy station, WFNI (ex-WIBC), does not throw much, if any,
signal Allen's way when on the 10 Kw night setup.  When I lived about 15
miles NE of my present QTH, I could almost make them disappear.  They
send a BIG signal to the South and East, however.  My father who lives
in North Carolina, used to listen to WIBC each night to hear happenings
in his old stomping grounds.

Allen - you may be able to land Indy if you can catch them right before
local Indy sunset and their switch from the 50 Kw ND - day rig.  The
only time that I have heard KNX is one morning when WIBC was off due to
a power outage, about 1983 or so.  I bet, however, if I go 30 miles West
of Indy, KNX would be there instead of WFNI.  I wonder if Allen is in
perfect two hop range for KNX and that is why the (seemingly) easier
reception?

73,
Dave in Indy

RE: For Allen Willie; Hi, it's amazing that you scooped a signal all the
way 
from Los Angeles on 1070.Was it a steady or slow fade in and out or did
you 
notice anybody else mixing in? I'm wondering if CBA in Moncton NB is
still 
active or did they shut that one down and was replaced by an FM? And
nothing 
from Indy? You're probably closer to France than California.If you used
an ultra 
light receiver for this scan,how much more could you get with a good
sensitive 
portable? I wish I was there now since west coast Dxing has kind of run
its 
course for me. Bill in BC

Hi Bill and the Group

I've heard KNX in here quite a number of times over the past while,
usually when 
it's in it has?a suprisingly?decent signal even on the ultralight
machine, and 
stays in a good bit before fading away. I've never logged the Indy
station yet, 
the CBA in Moncton is gone and usually the only other station heard here
most 
nights is CHOK in Sarnia Ontario and it seems to struggle as it's signal
is weak 
and at times sounds muffled. In the past the Euskadi Irratia station
from Spain 
on 1071 used to take over and cover up anything on 1070. It recently
moved to 
1386
