Re: [IRCA] C&W on 980

[Michael Hawkins <downsized99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don,

 

KVLV is not daytime only.  I've chase that station several times in the past and always kicked myself for not remembering them.  There have been times in the past that I have received them in the daytime, usually in Manteca.  I can't do it in Tracy though.  Out of curiosity, is KYAK becoming a regular for you on 930?  It is for me now.  You may also listen for KSVC/Richfield UT on 980.  I get it every night as well.

 

I'm noticing some things now more commonly, which I think should be called the "DXers Lament," such as:

 

1. Any station that changes their call letters immediately becomes very difficult to hear.  I had KNWX/1210 *every* day, and I haven't been able to hear them since they changed calls.

2. Any station that has been difficult to hear becomes a pest once heard...KUTI/1460 and KYAK/930 are examples for me.

3. All stations fade into the woodwork 10-15 seconds before giving their hourly required IDs.

4. All adjacent-channel stations interfering with a desired catch start blasting music that causes severe splatter just as the desired catch starts saying something which will enable them to be identified.

5. You can sit in uninterrupted silence for hours until DX conditions improve, then the entire world queues up to get your undivided attention.

 

I'm sure you can add some too.  I sure hope DX conditions improve soon.  I haven't logged anything new since the 8th.
