And while we're on the subject of DXers we haven't heard from in a while, I see that someone in Pennsylvania named David Reitz recently joined the NRC. I wonder if this is the same David Reitz who was an IRCA member from Fern Creek (metro Louisville), Kentucky in the 1980s and 1990s? David travelled with myself, Frank Merrill, and Jeff Kadet to the IRCA convention in Knoxville, Tennessee (hosted by Karl Zuk) in October 1990, but I lost touch with him sometime in the mid-1990s.

DX TIP: KCKK 1510 Denver  View Printable Version

The station normally on with rock n roll appears to be running a dead
carrier. Up here in Laramie, WY I just bagged KGA Spkane and checking
with a broadcast engineer no associated with KCKK, he notes a dead
carrier opn 1510khz. Passing this along, it might allow someone to get
a new log in on 1510khz

Definitely an improvement on yesterday with a nice upper band sunrise lift.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

1566 HLAZ woman in Chinese 1611UT; at 1645UT this was also very readable with a man in Russian


Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):


747 JOIB sign off music box 1544UT

972 HLCA oriental pop vocal maxed out at 1555UT, slightly less vigorous Korean talk a couple of minutes earlier

1557 Taiwan, RTI man in Chinese 1606UT; was weaker before the hour with woman singing a capella and talking, parallel with webstream https://www.rti.org.tw/radio/onAirPlayer/id/1 which was delayed by about 30 seconds

1593 CNR1 pop vocal //6175 1613UT


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:

774 JOUB sign off music box 1541UT


Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)

567 //594 1534UT

594 //567 1535UT, underpowered today

828 JOBB sign off music box 1543UT

873 JOGB //828 1543UT

1017 island sounding vocals, likely Tonga 1519UT

1287 pop music 1601UT


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
738 891 945 1098 1188 1206 1242 1296 1359 1377 1422 1458 1494 1503 1512 1548 1575 seemed to be Asian;
1098 seemed to be DU


best wishes,

and KCKK 1510 just popped back on. I'm being told the microwave STL
to the AM died off while the FM translator remained fully functional.
Someone switched over to the back up ISDN STL. Paul
