Jackson 34 K34KA-D NS DCC 4w for K50BL Meeteetse 29 K29IH-D NS DCC 1kw for KLJB argued that Northwest Television had K63BO already constructed much of the new station's Sunlight Basin 29 K29IG-D NS DCC 400w for transmitting facilities before the permit was K11QL granted. An antenna had been hung on a tower, and transmitting and microwave gear Thanks to Joel Nelson, John Zeis, and Mike had been installed. FCC regulations Glass for information elsewhere in this (somewhat confusing) seem to prohibit this month's column. practice.

John reports at least one of WTVE-DT's KLJB also argues that Northwest had entered multiple Distributed Transmission System into a prohibited option agreement with (DTS) transmitters is on the air. Second Generation of Iowa. In return for a

loan towards construction, Northwest had “...turned my Samsung DTV box to Ch 25 to given Second Generation an option to try and pickup PSIP from WTVE–DT during acquire the station once the application was storms, never having seen more that a flash granted and a permit issued. (apparantly of signal from the flea power Reading Second Generation was quite interested in xmitter. When I checked that evening I was the station, as they were the party who built surprised to find a strong signal which was the transmitting facility) coming from the direction of the antenna farm.” With regard to the premature construction

allegations, Northwest argued that the John believes this is WTVE-DT's DTS 7. construction had not been completed to the Signal strength is similar to other Philadelphia point where the station would be operational. DTVs and greater than that of WHYY-DT. They also argued that it shouldn't count

but they simply admonished Northwest. W46EB, Arbury Hills, Illinois was not built according to the permit before the permit With regard to the option agreement, expired. (a more powerful transmitter and Northwest cited other option agreements the lower gain antenna was used) FCC had approved which they believed were

similar to their case. Again, the Commission The Commission ruled the channel disagreed. The FCC's argument is that the displacement permit should never have been approved options allowed acquisition of the granted in the first place. The Arbury Hills station only after construction is complete and site – near Chicago – doesn't deliver a signal the station is on the air. The Northwest – to any of the area covered by the original Second Generation agreement allowed station, W52BR, Champaign. acquisition as soon as the permit is granted.

The Commission ruled that option agreement It would have been granted anyway if W52BR may not be exercised. (I would presume that could have shown no channel was available Second Generation could still acquire the that would cover Champaign. But in fact, station after Northwest gets it on the air.) several channels are available.

Good DX! The W52BR license for Champaign remains valid; the station can return to the air there. It can also file a new displacement application – but that application is going to have to cover Champaign.

We are still looking for a permanent replacement for FM News editor. The editor should be able to login to the wtfda.info website and access the almost daily postings of changes placed in the Members-Only area by Doug Smith. The editor should be able to cut and paste each text tile into MS Excel, then sort the entries by alphabet, then replace the four and five letter state/province names with standard two letter postal codes (IA/MN/NJ, etc), then copy the Excel file into MS Word. The editor does not have to know what all the abbreviations mean. That is all explained in the index of abbreviations. If you are comfortable with MS Word and MS Excel, please consider doing this in your spare time once a month. This column took about 90 minutes to complete. The editor has control over this column and can make it as ornate or as plain as he sees fit. This is your chance to become famous (or infamous) and possibly wealthy (if you invest wisely, that is). At the minimum you’ll be doing the club a big favor and that ought to make you feel good. And soon you’ll be saying things like “Oh god, it’s almost deadline time and I haven’t even started the column yet” just like the rest of us.

END OF AN ERA?

Bruce Elving informs us that publication of FMedia! and FM Atlas has been suspended. FMedia! could possibly return in a few months but the FM Atlas may not return. This decision follows the failure of some computer equipment storing program files and FM Atlas maps.

A good season overall, despite the quiet June. I would rate the July 26th opening the best skip opening of the season. What a finish! Still, non-stop work here means I’m still dxing while working which holds down the number of stations that I could hear. It could be worse, like working in a place with no radios. The W282BJ-104.3 translator mentioned above fooled me. I know that WGMF also has a translator on this frequency at Hughsville, about 45 miles west of here, and I thought it was it on trops. Another quiet channel ruined by another needless repeater. Will it ever stop?

John Jefferson - Box 203 - Auburn, WA 98071-0203

The Auburn log is somewhat less than brief: 1 new local not worth listing for the year. So let’s go straight to the good stuff, namely Radar Hill revisited. The Pioneer car radio accounted for almost all loggings, as things were really dead in the motel room. In the Honda Pilot, its performance was far better than last year when it was fighting the ’94 Sentra’s noisy ignition. And the weather was very

29 cooperative. No, I didn’t beat Mike Cherry’s incredible fall catches, but I gained on him! As he did, I’m including semilocals from Victoria & Vancouver because they were coming over the mountains and were sometimes harder to log than stations 2-3 times farther away!

Notes: 1) KSND1, not KSND, assumed because KPPT, KSHL 97.5 Gleneden Beach, and KCRF 96.7 Lincoln City were incredibly strong most of 6/1 (& are in the same market), while inland Oregon stations faded in and out. Even KPPT’s spurs on 100.3 & 101.1 were audible about the time KSND1 was received, which says a lot about both the trops that day & KPPT’s engineering, or lack thereof. 2) KDPM was weak, and faded right at ID time, but their signal was well synchronized with KNRQ & other Eugene stations which were booming in at the times KDPM was heard.

May 31 was probably a very normal day on Radar Hill. Those paths across the water do propagate signals well. June 1 was obviously an incredible day. Coos Bay was in for hours, including KBDN (which paralleled KCRF for hours, splitting off in the evening). June 2 was better than the log suggests, with 1 or 2 Coos Bay stations in most of the time (but never everybody at once, as on the 1st). I even heard KOOS 94.9’s 95.7 xlator at one point (but KOOS was buried under KCBZ and/or KUOW all day). June 3 again featured Coos Bay, better than on the 2nd, but Eugene kind of stole its thunder. KNRQ was solid at times (never in continuously like KACW, KOOS, and KJCH on the 1st, though); KODZ was surprisingly weak by contrast, while KLCC – seemingly co-sited – was quite good at times. As for KTMT, it was in and out, but when in was like a local (except there’re only two locals that have more than flea power – CBXZ 91.5 & CHMZ 90.1 Tofino; CIMM 99.5 Ucluelet is clear on Radar Hill, but not even heard in Tofino). Around noon, I had to start home, and listened to KMUN 91.9 Astoria from Radar Hill past the Ucluelet junction, though they were admittedly spotty. KJCH Coos Bay was noted at the national park center at the junction, even though that area is fairly low & seemingly blocked to the south by mountains.

CHINOOK PASS LOG:

Chinook Pass is 5432’ ASL, with Washington State Highway 410 crossing it. That is the best link between South King County & North Pierce County with the Yakima Valley, but due to the height and terrain typically is closed from the first heavy snowfall until about the Memorial Day weekend. Thus the log starts on May 26 (all activity caught with the Pioneer car stereo in the Honda Pilot, making significant use of the Pilot’s directional antenna (it’s embedded in the left rear passenger window). All Oregon stuff logged on the south face of the pass, near 4500’, except as noted. All Spokane-area stations, except as noted, and all skip were logged about 1 mile east of the summit

1000 KJKL 88.7 Selma, OR ID, K-Love for SW OR 330 (w of Tipsoo Lake, 5000’+)

Between 8 and 8:45, KJKL was booming in at the 4500’ turnout where Oregon stations typically are heard. It was soon evident that it was NOT the much closer KLVP Cherryville OR, which is heard rarely and then barely (it’s on the south side of Mt. Hood, so heavily blocked). The signal was too good, and there was no sign of either KPFR 89.5 Pine Grove or KZRI 90.3 Welches, which are co-sited on Mt. Hood. And KLOY Astoria was unlikely since I’ve never caught anything from that market at Chinook (something to do with being behind Mt. Rainier, most likely). Unfortunately, at 8:30 it gave an erroneous ID as KLOV Winchester, which is on 89.3, and then went silent for a half hour except for announcements of songs never heard. KLVU 107.1 Sweet Home was doing the same thing, so K-Love’s SW Oregon studio, if not all of K-Love, was totally screwed up. By then KJKL was weakening, so I relocated to the higher elevation, where they were still pretty good. Alas, as I arrived there at 9:05 they were just announcing “K-Love for SW Oregon”, presumably having just given the correct calls. They did persist, though fairly weakly, until the 10am ID. That gives me four trops loggings of more than 300 miles in Washington, all this year from Chinook Pass. (Auburn’s best for trops are KACW 107.3 North Bend and KYSJ - then KYSG - 105.9 Coos Bay, both at 300.)

I included the tentative Mexicali stations since they and KLJZ are the basis for concluding the classical came from KQVO. There is also the fact that they may be the only classical station on 97.7 this side of the Mississippi. That’s it for Auburn – one productive opening to date. The opening caught at Chinook likely would have been useless here, if even heard.

The Editor’s Note

Hopefully this E-Skip season was an enjoyable one for you, the second to last before the TV DX landscape obviously changes quite a bit. Tropo has been active in the Upper Midwest, and is showing signs of starting up in the East as well. Here’s to a busy Autumn! ______

Well, as I write it is late August. I think it’s safe to say that the sporadic-E Season has come to an end. All that’s left is just a few crumbs left on the 6 meter table. I don’t think too many people would disagree with my characterization of the Season as “slightly below average.” Openings across the Atlantic were well below last year’s numbers, and very, very few operators saw openings into the Pacific. Further, there were long, long periods between openings of any kind. Still, the Summer was not without it moments. The high point of the last month, and in fact, the entire Summer, had to be the opening of Sunday, July 29th. Being Sunday, I was working at Sirius. Watching the band opening up to such an extent while I was unable to get on the bands was a bit disconcerting. Fortunately, I was able to sneak off to the parking lot, and scan FM broadcast, and even score a 6m FM contact while operating from EM45, the grid where Graceland is. As I left Graceland at 2pm Central time, the band was opening even more with FM broadcast to the top of the dial in full HD. That was fun driving. When I finally arrived home, 2m (144 MHz) was wide open – huge signals from all over Florida. I worked several grids, and even worked one operator in Georgia, a scant 500 miles out. The MUF was really, really high! The opening seemed to extend as far as Iowa, for some, and as far south as Cuba. Some lucky folks in Texas saw the 2m band opening for much of the day. Many commented that this was the most extensive 2m opening since July, 2004. The last month has not been totally without tropo. The evening of August 8 and the morning of the 9th brought some nice paths into Texas. Most distant was W5UWB/EL17 at just under 700 miles, a relog. I did work one new 2m grid, with a contact into EL19.

The ARRL VHF (and up) Contest is just around the corner. The contest kicks off at 1800 UTC on September 8. The September contest is one of the three big VHF contests through the year. Often, however, this one can be a bit slow. Sporadic-E is generally gone, and tropo is just hit-or-miss. Still, many contest groups travel to mountaintops and interesting grids for contacts. Our local group, NE5BO, will be travelling to Mount Nebo in Arkansas for the weekend. They hope conditions are better this year than the last couple of years. Look for them! Full rules for the weekend’s activities can be found at http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2007/sepvhf.html.

So far, at least here, Europe has not been as good as last year, but much better double-hop to the West.

58 JIM RENFREW’S HOLLEY N.Y. MINI CONVENTION

Here are some pictures of the Saturday, July 28th GTG at Jim Renfrew's house. The group picture, left to right:

Saul Chernos (ON), George Greene (OH), Greg Coniglio (NY), Scott Fybush (NY), Pablo the dog, Jim Renfrew (NY), Mike Ward (OH), Ariel Fybush (NY), Larry Herritt (NY), Jerry Bond (NY), Niel Wolfish (ON), Rick Lucas (NY).

The antennas are Jim's. The KOTV-6 Tulsa picture on the

big-screen TV is off tape, not live DX. The Es being viewed on the little TV is live - I think that was WSIL on 3.

A fine time was had by all!
