KCUP 1230 kHz Toledo, Oregon DX Test-- Sunday Morning, January 31, 2021  View Printable Version 
Monday, January 25 2021

HCDX


GRAVEYARD DX TEST NEXT WEEKEND

Many DX tests are months in the making and this one was no exception. CPC Member Paul Walker first reached out to station owner Steve Rubin in August of 2020 to see about the possibility DX tests for stations that Rubin owns.

While Steve Rubin didn’t have any maintenance opportunities for stations that he owned at the time, he promised to reach out if something developed. Rubin was as good as his word. KCUP 1230 will be changing formats in February and will be performing some maintenance on the transmitter just prior to the switch.

KCUP will test on Sunday morning, January 31, 2021 starting at midnight PST (0800 UTC) until 0100 AM PST (0900 UTC). Test material will include Morse Code, sweep tones, sound effects, etc.

The station will be transmitting at 1,000 watts into their omnidirectional pattern. On crowded graveyard frequencies, it is difficult for stations to be heard at great distances usually—but past tests have proven that the additional of special test material can work wonders.

This provides a solid opportunity for West Coast receptions and also DX’ers in NZ and Australia. Those of us back East will need more than a little luck…but as many of us need Oregon and new stations on 1230, let’s give it a try.

Reception reports will be handled by the Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) at the request of KCUP. Reception reports should be e-mailed to:

les@highnoonfilm.com <mailto:les@highnoonfilm.com>

We strongly prefer that you include MP3 sound file recordings of the best 2-3 minutes of your reception. If you cannot record the DX, then detailed written reports can also be accepted. If your report is confirmed, you will receive a custom designed QSL card as a PDF file attachment. It is suitable for printing.

We will no longer accept reports via USPS mail.

Thanks to Steve ________ and the owners of KCUP for this rare DX test from Oregon. Thanks to Paul Walker for his months of work in setting up this test. Also to Joe Miller, KJ8O for designing the special QSL card and handling the verification. We’re blessed to have dedicated volunteers on the CPC—but always looking for more help. Please consider volunteering.

BRAZIL - B,

670 kHz: Radio Convenção, Itu SP, 23/01 1545. Brazilian song, 'Convenção, a rádio de cada um...'. 35553 (RG).

800 kHz: Radio MEC, Rio de Janeiro RJ, 24/01 0208. Brazilian popular songs, 'MEC (RJ)'. 35533 (RG). Not the same transmission as MEC Brasilia.
800 kHz: Unid Brazilian station with Brazilian regional songs. A fourth station heard on the same frequency for 1 or 2 minutes, just the songs. 22522 (RG).
REMARK: As published in WRTH, there are only 4 Brazilian stations at 800 kHz. It was possible to hear this fourth station, in addition to the other 3 informed above. This 4th station presented a sequence of Brazilian regional music. I presume (only presume!!! ) that it may have been Radio Antares, Teresina PI. It had no similar characteristic to the listened stations of Brasilia, Santa Maria and Rio de Janeiro (the loop rotation allowed this immediate verification). And as I said, there are only 4 Brazilian stations at 800 kHz today. In other frequencies researched over time we have found some stations of the north / northeast Of Brazil occasionally: 1380 kHz Radio Continental, Recife, and has been constantly the same situation with 860 kHz Radio City, Fortaleza.
1290 kHz: Radio Brasil Sul, Londrina PR, 24/01 0244. Time checking by YL, 'Brasil Sul'. Brazilian songs. 'ZYJ310 Radio Brasil Sul, Londrina, Paraná, a mais potente emissora do interior do Paraná'. 35543 (RG).
1330 kHz: Radio Clube, Blumenau SC, 24/01 0232. Jingle/id: '... a melhor programação está aqui, Radio Clube de Blumenau. 45554 (RG). A stupendous signal received from Radio Clube for several minutes!!!

1530 kHz: Radio Nova Progresso, São Leopoldo RS, 24/01 0308. Brazilian song, id 'Nova Progresso AM, 1530 kHz'. 34533 (RG).

CHILE - CHL,
1100 kHz: BBN Radio, via Viña del Mar, Spanish, 24/01 0105. Christian songs, male voice communication, 'BBN'. 25432 (RG).
REMARK: Rx w/270° Az. Turning slightly from 270° Azimuth to a 'north' position, there is an angular range with no station, zero signal. Reaching 330° / 340° Azimuth, we find a new clear transmission from BBN Radio, but with a lower signal than Viña del Mar. Antenna pointed at Colombia, there is BBN Radio from Bogotá, at the same frequency as the Chilean broadcast. It is no longer to the first time we have been able with this simple technique using the Quantum Loop V2.0 Antenna, with a same result. Gustavo Guaita (Antonio Carlos SC), and Denis Zoqbi (São Paulo) had enjoyed the same experience / result.

COLOMBIA - CLM,
1100 kHz: BBN Radio, via Bogotá (pres.), Spanish, 24/01 0112. Christian songs, male voice communication. The same program as the same station from Chile (see above, please).
REMARK: Turning slightly the direction of the 330° / 340° Azimuth antenna westward, no other station found up to 270° Az, a full silence track. In this second angle, back to BBN Radio, Viña del Mar, at 1100 kHz, with a slightly higher signal strength than found in the Colombian transmission.
