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 smore!
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!

6/8 Turned on the receiver this morning and found KZTU-660-Junction
City, OR on the air with very strong signals here 140 miles away //860,
with KPAM IDs. Haven't caught an ID on the hour as yet though. This
should get out well during the day at least! Reports should probably be
sent to the KPAM address I would guess, as they own KZTU.

1640 WKSH Sussex, WI/WOKY pics
I got a call from WKSH today. They said that they are done testing,
and that they are awaiting FCC approval to hit the airwaves. My
contact said that they "should" be on in about a week or so. So start
to look for them starting the week of the 15th.
In a storm last week, three of five of WOKYs towers were blown down.
WOKY - 920 is in Milwaukee, WI 5kW day 4 towers, 1 kW night 3 towers.
A pic of two of the fallen towers can be seen at my web site

6/7. Is anymore hearing the UNID SSer on 1660 khz, weakly received off
my EWE wire at 0640 UTC (June 8). So far no ID caught, but I presume
an XE, Baja Cal, or a harmonic. Maybe a new X Bander from Mexico? Any
help would be appreciated.
6/8. Is anyone hearing an SSer on 1660 khz? I have been listening to
one at 0645 UTC on June 8, 1998. At 0700, there was an ID with a female
announcer "1660 AM". Seems to be strongest off EWE antenna. Has WJDM
changed format? Lots of static crashes tonight making hearing the
signal hard. Any help would be appreciated.
Charles A. Taylor - calltaylor@xxxxxxx
6/8. Dunno what urp and thump have to do with it (Maybe a brilliant
new concept for format), but I vote for WJDM-1660. When I heard it, it
wasn't mixing with WJDM (the unIDed SS-1660, that is).
6/8. Didn't even think to ID the SS-1660 last AM (around 0200 EDT). I
was realigning the R-390A/URR after throwing the gear train out of
synchronization while work- ing on a more minor problem (I was a
shivering mass of protoplasm). After get- ting it back into
synchronization, I was aligning it and landed on 1660 in passing. Noted
the SS, and thought maybe I had read the NJ had changed for- mat.
Wrong! But it was strong enough to make me think it was East Coast or
some other within 750-1000 miles.
Robert Wien - San Jose CA - rjwmail@xxxxxxxxx
6/8. 1660 is now WBAH, and they are now Radio Unica (they are
apparently leasing the facilities from the Beat Network). The Beat
network is the dance network that Radio Aahs used to be (830 KPLS is
still on this network).
Bill Harms - wharms@xxxxxxxxx
6/8. Nope this is New Jersey; I am not sure of the calls. I hear them
here in Maryland in the day time.
Paul Mount - prmount@xxxxxxxxxxx
6/8. Yes WJDM is now broadcasting "Radio Unica" in Spanish and has
reportedly scrooged around with its call letters to WBAH

I got up after a terrible nightmare and could not fall back to sleep.
Good thing I checked the radio as two new ones popped up when NSP local
CKY went off air or was testing equipment. Managed to hear station 2100
which I had set as a goal to hear before the year 2000. The idea of
hearing 2100 before the 21st century looked like a good goal. Figured
it would be an X-bander the way things were going but this is even
better.
