N R C ANNUAL CONVENTION
September 4-7, 1998
Best Western - Oak Hills
San Antonio, Texas
Hold onto your hats because this is going to be a big one! First of
all, there is no more receptive city in the world than San Antonio.
You think you will be going there for the radio conference, but when
you leave you will still be talking about the remarkable city sights,
the Alamo, sure! The Riverwalk? The restaurants? Six Flags over
Texas? Sea World? Tower of the Americas? It's endless!
And be sure to bring your radio! Imagine! DXing from a city you'e
been trying to DX for years! Our host, Dale Hamm, has arranged a tour
of WOAI from 2 to 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon. Wouldn't it be a kick to
walk through the hallowed halls of one of Americas' last truly Clear
Channel operations?
But wait, there' more!
If we start listing all the stations you can visit on this page,
you just know that one or more stations will be changing their call
signs to make us look foolish. So we'll just say, in a city with two
dozen radio stations youer going to be hard pressed to hear them all,
let alone visit the ones Dale will suggest we go see.
But the real fun? Of course. Meeting many of the DXrs you're
read about and who have become such familiar names in the hobby. Many
of them will have attended these conventions in the past and they'll be
able to help you figure out what's going on most of the time. Our
tried and true receptionist will keep you newcomers on track too. So
come on Friday if you possibly can and plan for a full day of
activities on Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday morning we'll have the annual radio station quiz .. and a
live taping of the "Travellog" .. a tour across the country with our
dial set to one a.m. frequency .. loads of fun. In between the
scheduled events, relax, meet and chat with others who share this
wonderful hobby. It's really a neat time for all of us.
HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
Hotel: Best Western - Oak Hills; 7401 Wurzbach Road, San Antonio, TX
78229. 1-800-468-3507: call them until 5 p.m. CentralTime. $52
Singles; $47 each for Double Rooms (two beds) and breakfast is
included.
Convention Registration: $40 and includes Saturday banquet and all the
soda / beer and snacks you can wolf down during the weekend.
Registration should include your name and the name of any guest. Send
that along with $40 each to:
Mr. Dale Hamm, 11313 January Drive, Austin, TX 78753-2915. Auction
items should be sent to this same address.
Travel:
Rail: Call 1-800-872-7245 for information and reservations.
Generally speaking, there is daily service to major cities within
Texas and alternate day service to other major U.S. cities.
Air: If you fly into San Antonio, there is a free airport shuttle
to the Best Western. Many airlines serve San Antonio but South West
Air is offering NRC'ers 10% off; give them the special code number
S-0098 when you call 1-800-433-5368 on Monday through Friday for your
reservation.
Driving: San Antonio is at the junction of I-10 and I-35. I-410
is the beltway around the city. The hotel is in the northwest quadrant
of the city. Drive onto I-410 from I-10 or I-35 to the Babcock Street
exit, turn north on Babcock to Wurzbach Road. Turn right on Wurzbach
Road and the Best Western is the third building on your left.
The weekend program will start Friday p.m. and end Sunday p.m.
Saturday is for seeing the city and/or visiting the stations. Sunday
morning is the annual NRC quiz, a live taping for the DX Audio Service
and other goodies. Audience participation is expected!

array); Superphaser-1 phasing unit
======================================================
*** TRANS-ATLANTIC DX ***
549 ALGERIA, Les Trembles, MAY 20 0057 - woman in AA; poor to fair.
[Connelly*O-ME]
612 SPAIN / MOROCCO, MAY 20 0056 - jumbled messy mix of SS and AA
talk. [Connelly*O-ME]
621 CANARY ISLANDS // SPAIN, RNE1 synchros, MAY 20 0055 - SS talk //
639; poor. [Connelly*O-ME]
639 SPAIN, RNE1, La Coruna et al., MAY 20 0054 - SS discussion; loud.
[Connelly*O-ME]
711 WESTERN SAHARA, Laayoune, MAY 20 0052 - AA talk; through tough
T-storm static (QRN). [Connelly*O-ME]
765 SENEGAL, Dakar, MAY 20 0049 - male AA vocal; over fast SAH that
was presumably from Switzerland under. [Connelly*O-ME]
891 ALGERIA, Algiers, MAY 20 0047 - AA music at low audio level on a
strong carrier. [Connelly*O-ME]
1044 MOROCCO, Sebaa-Aioun, MAY 19 2352 - AA vocal; rising through QRN.
The static crashes seemed pretty strong considering that no
clouds were in view. [Connelly*O-ME]
1044 SPAIN, SER synchros, MAY 20 0041 - SER SS newstalk and telephone
interview; over others. [Connelly*O-ME]
1089 UNITED KINGDOM, Talk Radio synchros, MAY 20 0040 - excited EE
teletalk. To strong peaks (but with choppy fades at times);
WBAL in cardioid array phase-null. [Connelly*O-ME]
1098 SLOVAKIA / SPAIN, MAY 20 0038 - even-strength battle between
Slavic music and SS talk; a bad growl resulted from the
frequency difference of about 50 Hz. [Connelly*O-ME]
1107 SPAIN, RNE5 synchros, MAY 20 0036 - two men in SS; LOUD !
[Connelly*O-ME]
1125 SPAIN, RNE5 synchros, MAY 20 0036 - fast SS talk; poor.
[Connelly*O-ME]
1134 CROATIA, HR, Zadar, MAY 20 0035 - initially dominating the
channel with a Slavic folk vocal. Then it faded under Spain.
[Connelly*O-ME]
1134 SPAIN, COPE synchros, MAY 20 0036 - SS teletalk; rising atop
Croatia. [Connelly*O-ME]
1152 SPAIN, RNE5 synchros, MAY 20 0032 - man in SS; fair. Jumble of
other stuff noted under. [Connelly*O-ME]
1179 SPAIN // CANARY ISLANDS, SER synchros, MAY 20 0111 - SER net SS
teletalk; fair to good with WHAM phased. [Connelly*O-ME]
1215 UNITED KINGDOM, Virgin R. synchros, MAY 20 0113 - rock music;
just over Spain and barely covering the static crashes.
[Connelly*O-ME]
1251 LIBYA, Tripoli, MAY 20 0113 - man in AA; poor to fair in tough
(hard to null) WKBR/WARE/WMTR slop. [Connelly*O-ME]
1296 SPAIN, COPE, Valencia, MAY 20 0023 - man & woman with SS
teletalk; good. [Connelly*O-ME]
1314 SPAIN, RNE5 synchros, MAY 20 0114 - bits of SS talk; in tough

female vocal: at pre-sunset fade-up. First TA signal noted this
afternoon. [Connelly*O-ME]
1422 ALGERIA, Algiers, MAY 20 0012 - AA violins; poor at first, then
the carrier got strong, but the audio was still at a low level.
[Connelly*O-ME]
1512 SAUDI ARABIA, BSKSA, Jeddah, MAY 20 0116 - AA male Koranic a
cappella vocal; EXCELLENT signal - about equal to WNRB-1510 !
The huge strength of this so late in the DX season really
surprised me. The 0100-0130 UTC slot seems to be the optimum
time for Middle East propagation during spring and summer.
[Connelly*O-ME]
1548 KUWAIT, VOA, Kuwait City, MAY 20 0117 - VOA program with US EE
talk by man; to fair peaks, well over the British stations. It
was close to dawn on the Kuwait end of the path. [Connelly*O-ME]
1550 ALGERIA - CLANDESTINE, Tindouf, MAY 19 2332 - bongo drums,
oud-like string instrument, and a group of women shouting and
singing in a Berber tribal style. HUGE signal, way over a US
station that had a baseball game. This was definitely the
loudest pre-sunset TA. [Connelly*O-ME]
1584 SPAIN / CEUTA, MAY 20 0018 - Spain with SER newstalk and Ceuta
with music "duked it out" at even strength. Tough static and
CBJ slop at times. [Connelly*O-ME]
1602 SPAIN, EI, Vitoria, MAY 20 0117 - mellow SS pop vocal; good, way
over the SER SS talker. No sign of Ascension Island that Neil
Kazaross heard from here in the '80s. [Connelly*O-ME]
*** PAN-AMERICAN DX ***
1110 VENEZUELA, YVQT, Carupano, MAY 20 0037 - R. Carupano ID, SS talk;
fair over a low rumble. In general, the Latin Americans were on
the weak side tonight. Even 535 and the other Caribbean splits
were barely making it. [Connelly*O-ME]
1375 ST. PIERRE ET MIQUELON, RFO, MAY 19 2330 - man with FF teletalk;
fair. Groundwave reception at this site is possible (day signal
at noise threshold). [Connelly*O-ME]

MEDIA RELEASE
Hon Tony Ryall Minister Responsible for Radio New Zealand
19 May, 1998
POSSIBLE MOVE TO FM FOR NATIONAL RADIO
Radio New Zealand will investigate converting National Radio from the
current AM band to the FM band, Minister Responsible for Radio New
Zealand Hon Tony Ryall said today.
I have invited the Board of RNZ to include a case in their 1998/99
business plan for moving National Radio to the FM band, Mr Ryall said.
Moving to the FM band would certainly provide a considerable increase
in quality for National Radio?s estimated half-a-million listeners.
A move to FM might also save costs in the long run as FM is generally
cheaper to transmit than AM. The Government would expect RNZ to manage
the costs of any move to FM within its own balance sheet, in
consultation with shareholding Ministers.
