THE END OF E-SKIP? gone now but a couple of us are still around. Our family TV was set up in the garage. The tuner was well used Here we are heading into August and as I write this but survived the weekend.

I had very little Station Database that read “Thank you so much for time to do any DXing this summer and missed at least putting the FM database together! Ever since two big openings.

VIZIO IS YOUR PAL

This was received on 7/24 from Gary Hickerson…

AND FINALLY

I just have to thank the rest of the board of directors for their generous “retirement” gift of the Elad S2 SDR. Over the past fifty years I’ve owned (and modified) more FM receivers and tuners then I can count. I’ve had them all, or close to it. I’m not joking when I say that the Elad SDR is the best receiver for FM that I’ve ever owned, and that includes the XDR-F1HD. This receiver has everything a DXer would want in a receiver. But it doesn’t have HD. But then, who cares about HD anyway. Thanks Greg, Keith and Doug. CU next month.

NEWS ITEM UPDATE: Back in November 2013, we had a NEWS ITEM concerning KIMI 107.9 Humboldt, NE. The station was originally licensed for 6.1 kW-V/82 m at 40-13-55/95-58-17. They were granted a CP to move to 107.7 with 50 kW/124 m at 40-56-56/95-45-28 Class C2, plus change City-of-License to Sidney, Iowa. After construction of the tower and antenna was completed, and KIMI was conducting Program Tests, the Federal Aviation Administration intervened. Their concerns the new transmitter’s location being only 12 miles away from Offutt AFB at Bellevue, Nebraska, and the new facility, being inline with Runway 30's final approach, would cause interference to the Instrument Landing System (ILS) frequency (109.5) leading aircraft to Offutt's Runway 30. KIMI then operated with an STA with 500 Watts from the new tower. The FCC has now issued a modification to the CP downgrading the power to 13 kW (they added H polarization) at 124 m Class C3 at the new site. In addition, KIMI has changed the City-of-License to Malvern. At this time . . . that’s the latest scoop.

Madison- DX Get-Together

The 21st annual Madison-Milwaukee Get-together for DXers and Radio Enthusiasts returns to Madison this year, after the highly successful gathering in Oak Creek, WI last year. This year's event will be held on Saturday, August 16 from 1:00 to 11:00 PM. The WTFDA's Bill and Nina Dvorak are this year's hosts, and the location will be at their home, 3358 Ridgeway Avenue, Madison WI 53704-4327.

This all-band event has for many years been a popular destination for Upper Midwest WTFDA members. In fact, if you would like to get a little flavor of a recent GTG (and see who from the WTFDA attended), there is a recap of the 2012 event in the October VUD of that year, pages 46-47.

For more information on this year's event, please e-mail Bill at [email protected] (please include "Madison DX GTG" in the subject line), write him at the above address or phone him at 608-244-5497.

We hope to see you in Madison on August 16!

The Editor’s Note

Outside of some cameo appearances, the 2014 E-skip season looks to be close to completion at this point, and although it had its moments, below average activity overall would be its most conclusive verdict. As often can be the case, early July had the most Es activity, with a major opening on July 6 producing hours of high MUF Es in the middle portion of the continent and eventually moving westward. There were some more unusual endpoints reported (at least compared to recent years) throughout the month, including fairly strong openings on the 15th between the Canadian Maritimes and the Northern Great Lakes, and the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian Prairies. Overall though, every time it seemed like the season was about to get into a “groove”, it wobbled off the proverbial rails. There’s always next year!

This column goes to press as one of the stronger tropo events in quite some time has been ongoing across the mid-south into the Great Lakes. Paths reported on the 24th through 26th include from IL to AL and GA, KY to NC and VA, and MI and Ontario to AL and MS. The eastern half of the continent has been embedded in an overall cool weather pattern for this time of year, but as brief infiltrations of warm air filter in out ahead of the seemingly endless parade of incoming cool fronts, there may be more chances ahead for good tropo as we head into August.

Glenn Hauser As for HSN, what in the world is the point of putting PO Box 1684 it on this LPTV, when it is also on RF 50 Ion's Enid, OK 73702 fullpower 62.6 in OKC?? So I still don't know what programming is supposed to be on 21.3 and 21.4 [email protected] from KTOU. Who owns this sorry excuse for a TV http://www.worldofradio.com station, anyway? FCC TV Query shows Mako all times and dates strictly UT = 5 hours ahead of Communications LLC, in Corpus Christi TX. CDT, 6 hours ahead of CST Had almost forgotten, but previously logged KTOU ** OKLAHOMA. Area tropo enhancement brings on 21 with HSN as in DXLDs 10-30, 11-03, 11-06, RF21, June 24 at 1412 UT. 11-07, 11-09, 11-23 shortly after their DTV HSN is decoding with antenna south; what's this?! transition. NO PSIP ID, just blank for 21-1, but has three more also blank: 21-2 with religious talk by FRANCES on While I have this in from OKC, I also check the the set, only clue being an email address to other listed LP channels: ``bad `` signals on 19, 36, JSM.org; 21-3 is black with ``No video input`` and 45, 46 (Norman) --- of course could be from rapid digital clock in the UL including frames somewhere else like 45 Tulsa or Wichita; and NO zipping by, just like we sometimes see on Enid signals on 17, 41, 48 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX public access TV, like 16:21:28.25 etc. (not the LISTENING DIGEST) current time but the number of hours+accumulating that there has been NVI!) However, there is JBA ** OKLAHOMA. RF 26, June 24 at 1413 UT, modulation, can't make it out, but sounds like the KTENNBC on PSIP as 10-1, i.e. Ada`s station fully modulated 21-4 with an ad for mops & which is rarely seen here, altho nor far beyond buckets. W9WI.com reveals what this is: KTOU-LD, OKC. Also KTEN-CW as 10-2. W9WI.com also has 4 kW ERP in OKC, but he has only 21.1 with HSN. ABC on 10-3, but I didn't find it. Back in the day on analog 10 only, KTEN was a joint ABC/NBC JSM means Ministries, but the affiliate which led to all kinds of scheduling sinful bawler's TV channel is called SBN = Sonlife problems, especially prime-time. Broadcasting Network. So I enter an OKC zipcode in the Channel Finder, Same market for CBS is KXII-12, originally http://jsm.org/channelfinder.html and what do I get? Ardmore but today listed only under Sherman TX Only cable and satellite providers! They are so across the river; now only a bad signal from it(?) incompetent they don't even know, or want us to still on RF-12.

June 16 brought two new Texas FM stations in KINL and KPRR; tropo from northern Arkansas was in at the same time. The June 19 opening brought six new FM stations from Florida to bring that state to the 70-station mark. I finally hit the 200-station mark from Illinois with the log of new WJKG 105.5; I also added two new stations during the E-skip opening the same evening. June 30 brought a tropo opening to the Mid-South that allowed me to log two new NOAA Weather Radio stations from Mississippi. The Ackerman transmitter was clearly the strongest of the two new Mississippi stations heard. On both stations, I heard a tropical weather outlook for the storm that became Hurricane Arthur. WBLX 92.9 is the first Mobile market station I’ve logged on tropo (I heard WZEW 92.1 via E- skip in 2009). In the middle of that opening, an E-skip opening was also noted to upstate New York and southern Quebec, noting relogs of WQTK and CBF12 on 92.7. I caught WSIE 88.7 off on July 5 during an E-skip opening, allowing me to log KFRI with their Christian CHR programming from Air 1. The E-skip opening the next day started with another opening to Quebec, combined with a tropo opening to western Indiana. The opening switched to the northwest later in the day, with only my second North Dakota FM in the logbook (KACL 98.7) and putting Montana one station closer to #20 (KTHC 95.1 is the 19th Montana FM). The opening ended with the log of KQAZ 101.7 for my 14th Arizona FM. The July 10 E-skip openings brought MUFs into the FM band from Quebec and Ontario, with another log of CBF12 and hearing CBON26 for the first time in several years. As of July 14, the FM total is now at 1,279, with the NOAA Weather Radio total at 116. 73.
