Bill Hale, N5SZC - billhale@xxxxxxxxxx
I received this message from Tom Bryant in Nashville. Give it a try. If they
are running day power (10 kw) and pattern (U1), most should be able to hear
them, unless we're another 1550.
"A call to KQFN 1550 West Fargo, ND revealed that they have been remaining on
power and pattern due to 'trouble at the transmitter'. The non-technical
person I spoke to said it might be a couple of weeks before they were able to
revert to normal nighttime operation. In the meanwhile, an excellent chance
for many to log a some-what rare state."
Good hunting,

J.D. Stephens - JSteph6711@xxxxxxx
Saw info on Fidonet saying that starting 11-12-95, and lasting "for a few
days" that CBL-740 and CJBC-860 will be operating at 15 kw rather than full
power of 50 kw. The reason is that work is being done on the common antenna
system the message said they shared.
Another message from a different person said that he heard on CBL that they
would be off "late nights" from 11-18 to 11-24 due to transmitter work being
done. Although the message didn;t say, I am wondering if this is actually due
to the same reason in the previous paragraph, and if this would affect CJBC as
well.
Definitely 2 frequencies to keep a watch on during the next 10 days or so for
some DX possibilities!

1610 ???? ????? 11/03 0537 NJ Turnpike Authority TIS station. Location
unknown, giving 800#'s for further info 800- 33-NJTPK; at a
different time, another station was giving info for Atlantic City
expwy, but if AC,NJ easy catch because of over water path.
(MS-CT)
1610 ???? ????? 11/03 0505 Recorded weather forecast for Albany area with
current conditions at airport. Obviously TIS station, but pretty
good at 146 miles (if Albany) If this is Mt. Vernon/New Rochelle
transmitter, then 98 miles still ain't bad. (MS-CT)
1630 ???? ????? Looping NNW/SSE Religious music and recitations... no ID's
heard but what appears to be the same station has also been heard
in FL to ID as "This is WJTS, FM 108 AM 1630...John 3:16 Jesus is
Lord.." A 'holy pirate??? (TB-TN) (Tom: I have also hrd this one
here in Ocala, but never could get the ID-ed see below)
1630 ???? Several people have forwarded to me a message from David Crawford
from the Internet. Here's what he says about the above. "Several
of us in FL have been trying to make some sense out of the
location. This has been difficult because of a Navaid on the
same freq. messing up our DF bearings. I get a 40/220 degree
azimuth bearing here (I don't know where here is?-ed) and have
physically traveled the heading on the southwest leg and can
confirm it's not located in the Carribean since it stays in past
1500z here in the daytime. So, your reported NNW bearings may
actually be SSE. The ID's are rather sparse, but always the same
(see above). The FCC has no record of this one, so it appears to
be a pirate of sorts: WJDM 1660 is the only station authorized
to do any testing at this time. (courtesy of Tom Bryant) (If
there are more DXers in FL, where are they HIDING???-ed)
**********************************************************************
UNIDEN:::
1140 ???? WRMQ listed incorrectly last week as 1150. Checked again today

tunes. No liners, just music w/ 2sec pause between songs.
Didn't hear any local breaks or liners at all???? (of course it
faded at ID time!) (LF-FL)
1440 ???? ?? 11/05 0300-0330 Kept hearing station with sports nx, sports
talk, sports scores. Who ??? (LH-AL)

thought the test may have been hrd in New Zealand. Received a
nice letter from Andrew Gardner in Wellington. His accurate
