JUNE 2018

DUES RECEIVED This month we welcome two new members to the WTFDA. Lee Costic DXes FM down in . DATE NAME S/P ENDS James Bagge resides in Springfield, MA. Welcome 4/16/2018 Jon Klingerman PA 5/19 to both of you. Hope you find WTFDA interesting 4/28/2018 Jason Hustedt DE 3/19 and informative, and most of all, fun! 4/28/2018 Doug Allen SC 5/19 5/1/2018 Fred Nordquist SC 5/19 THE SURVEY 5/1/2018 Richard Lucas NY 6/19 5/3/2018 David Pierce VA 4/19 Let’s talk about the survey for a little while. We 5/7/2018 Lee Costic VA 5/19 received only 8 responses out of about 200 5/7/2018 James Bagge MA 5/19 members, which means it is hardly representative 5/7/2018 Rod O'Connor ME 5/20 of the club as a whole, but at least it’s something. 5/7/2018 Ed Phelps KY 5/19 Everyone who responded agreed that the club is 5/7/2018 Dan Oglethorpe LA 5/19 meeting their expectations, but there could be 5/12/2018 Nick Langan NJ 4/19 improvements. Someone mentioned conventions. 5/12/2018 Michael Temme-Soifer NJ 4/19 One thing that has been missing for some years 5/12/2018 William Thompson MD 4/19 now is a WTFDA convention in the summer. The 5/12/2018 Chris Cervantez TX 3/19 conventions in the east were well attended. We 5/12/2018 Christian Ferland QC 4/19 have the funds to pay for all convention costs. We 5/12/2018 Mike Glass IN 5/19 just need people to host the conventions. That’s the 5/12/2018 Chad Bryan OH 4/19 tough part. So if someone wants to host a 5/12/2018 Frank Aden ID 4/19 convention, let somebody know. It won’t cost you 5/12/2018 Dan Dankert CA 5/19 any money, just some time. 5/16/2018 Charles Burnham NY 4/20 One person thought that the VUD would look 5/17/2018 Paul Snider ON 5/19 better if it were all in single columns. And thank you all for supporting the WTFDA! Another person laments the lack of DX reports in the VUD and that’s a concern with me also. The

JUNE 2018 ··· 2 ··· THE MAILBOX maddening thing about this hobby is the fact that it’s so fragmented. A few people post here and another few people post there and they are all in their own little groups all to themselves. You see that everywhere now. Back in the day, the VUD was full of DX reports which were then archived for posterity. You could go back to the July 1976 VUD and read what the conditions were back then and what stations were heard or seen. You’d have a record of skip and tropo openings. The VUDs were a valuable resource tool but that era seems to be over. (Go to http://www.wtfda.org to read the July 1976 issue). Do we have to resort to taking posts from Facebook and posting them in the VUD, like we did a month or two ago, just so we have some DX reports? Honestly, I thought someone would mention this, but nobody has. Should the VUD mainly consist of TV News, FM News and Facilities? At least two people thought we should have more DXer interaction in the VUD. And yes, I know there are at least a dozen other reasons for the lack of reports, many related to the fact that this is 2018 and, for many people, DXing is done differently now (SDRs) and also the fact that there are probably fewer people, for whatever reasons, actually doing the DXing, especially TV DXing with analog gone. Someone thought we should encourage our veteran members to write articles about themselves for the VUD, and possibly include a photo or themselves and/or their shacks. That sounds like a great way to learn about your fellow DXers and I seriously doubt anyone has a boring story to tell. If anyone wants to do this, either write or type something and send it in for VUD publication. Just write it. The WTFDA Bulletin Board was mentioned a few times. Nobody knows about it or what it’s for. The WTFDA Bulletin Board is a real-time prop logger where members post their DX as they receive it. This board is modeled after the tvfmskiplog at DX World, which has a great probability of closing in mid-June. Access requires a password, which you can get from myself or Ed Phelps (nn2e-at- vci.net). If you’re used to posting there, you can continue posting on our site when the other one closes. There’s a good group of people there to welcome you. http://wtfdadxbb.vci.net We had one comment that stated that the WTFDA Forums is underutilized, and I tend to agree with that comment. Sometimes you’ll find that 25 individuals have logged in there on a given day, and then just five or six the next. Recently I went into the admin section and deleted about 50 user accounts who had registered at least three years ago and had never returned. But there is a tremendous amount of information for DXers there and a core group of WTFDA members to answer questions. In addition the VUD is uploaded to the Members area every month, in case you delete your copy. Other requests were to have WTFDA Statistics printed in the VUD once a year, have more original content in the VUD and to publicize the club and the VUD more aggressively on Facebook, which we’ve just tried. We’ve offered a free download of the May VUD on the TV & FM DXing group to help show the ignorant out there who we are. Unfortunately the “I want it free or forget about it” attitude is everywhere these days, even if dues are a ridiculously low 83 cents a month. And that is it for June. Let’s hope the Es season starts soon! If anyone has any comments or suggestions on the above, just email us and tell us. For you FM DXers, remember that there are two high-powered Dominican stations on 87.5 and 87.9 plus a strong pirate in Miami on 87.9! Be on the lookout! I know I will be. See you all next month. -Mike

The 2018 IRCA convention will be held at the Best Western Plus Charles Inn in St. Charles MO on September 7 and 8, 2018. The hotel is located at 1425 S Fifth Street in St Charles, NW of I-70 exit 229B, or the first exit west of the Missouri River, eight miles west of the Lambert St Louis International Airport. The room rate is $104.99 a night for either a standard king or two queens. The phone number to call the hotel directly to make reservations for that weekend is (636) 946-6936 or toll-free at 1- 888-274-0988. When calling to make the reservation, you must mention the code IRCA to get the rate. There is a block of 30 rooms reserved at that rate for each night for your choice of a single or double bed, your choice. Reservations must be made by August 7, 2018. One note, if all the rooms for this block sell out, then the meeting room at the hotel will be complementary. Registration fee is only $25 per person with free breakfast. There will be a tentative radio tour of KCLC FM 89.1 at Lindenwood College in St Charles as well as another possible radio tour and a possible tentative radio tower visit. Banquet is out of pocket and the place will be announced at a later date, possibly soon. Your host for the convention is Ken Hawkins. You can either email him at [email protected] or you can call him on this cell phone at (636) 577- 4295. Please make your plans and reservations now for the 2018 IRCA convention as this will probably be one of the best!

The Editor’s Note

Welcome to the 2018 DX season. The early returns on this year’s E-skip proceedings so far? Yeesh. Stop me if you’ve heard this before (2015-2017 also featured this general narrative), but unless the last 3 days of the month show some signs of life, Es with usable MUF of any kind was nearly non-existent throughout May. The natives may become understandably restless, but it should be known that we have seen strong turnarounds after dormant Mays for Es in the past. Is it just me, or is August becoming a more conductive month to Es than May? A blip on the radar screen or a real trend?

Accentuating the positive, there was generally more tropo than normal throughout the eastern half of the U.S. in May, likely buoyed by warmer than average temps almost everywhere (except for the southeast). Should the DX be more cooperative in June – please don’t forget to get your reports in to us! ______

According to Yunior Blanco Arias, head of the group, the first actions were concentrated on trying to save elements of the previous destroyed tower, that can be used in later maintenance works, as was the basis to reuse any parts where necessary.

At the moment we are working on the rehabilitation of the elements that make up the tower and then give it the proper strength, then tighten well and apply anticorrosive paint, once they are dry, begin the assembly and finish it at the most in 15 days, Blanco Arias added. For Wilfredo López Traba, one of the workers of Radio Cuba who collaborates in Camagüey, with almost 12 years of experience in the recovery of these transmitters, this is an opportunity to show solidarity with his comrades in Camagüey, as he did in other territories when previous hurricanes such as Dennis, Ike, Paloma, Sandy and Matthew lashed the country.

Within the assembly process, the most complex stage is the joining of the lengths until reaching the 90 meters of height that must reach the new tower. Adrián Ramírez Guzmán, a young man from Granma. is working for the first time on a tower project, and hopes with this mission that he will gain experience on the job, using his knowledge from a recent training course. Likewise, as the towermen of Radio Cuba of Granma, specialists of Camaguey carry out similar works in the community of Brazil, in the northern municipality of Esmeralda, one of the most damaged by the storm Irma, where the winds also overturned a similar tower.
