B. Godwin - 5421.South Clinton St ree t - Englewood, Colorado - 80110 Greetime;~! The WRAN-1510 TEST was heard with weak but joyful

s i ~ a l s MM 3/9 around ham & wm a fine ef for t by hss. I inwine they got out well, alth0uEfi it was a very poor AM generally for the East. WHAM-1180 was in- audible, & WIS was very weak. WHU didn't put up much of a f ight t o keep R. Irop- i ca l from coming on 1040 the same AM. The South was i n very well, though, w / ~~118-1180 s/on @Uf: :31am EST & OAX2X i n Truj i l lo , Peru, on 1559 l ike a Colombian @ 5:38. Also a weak one on 1l65 i n what seemed an Indian dialect @ 5:23-5:28, I think Quevado, Ecuador, per I D @ 5:28. And 2NA-1510 heard weakly @ 4 w/five pips & ABC theme, although WRAN was On top. It was what I'd ca l la typica l Spring MM & seemed Auroral. I hope other members got sane d is tant DX, & as Spring & Summer approach, I hope most w i l l s tay a t the dials. 73.

Then WJAG-780 Neb., most distant for TEST, & one of ny best, Piwince #7 in the shape of CBA-1070 N.B., s t a t e s t ha t no re o r t s have been received from N.Z. and mine is a distance record; very pleased wghis. Also KGAK-1330 N.M., KCZA-1230 Tex., first from Hawaii, & possibly the most de ta i lc l , specific ver i f i - cation I have ever received, an incredibly specific v / l & v/q Rom KREM-90 Wash., WE-920 Fla., rpost d is tant report. This had been one of ~qy m a s t frustrating mes, as I had heard it almost every MM f o r several months, b ~ t never v e l l enough t o report. Now, hcwwer, it is reported & verified. Also KGIW-1450 Colo., beat- en by N.Z., but t he only N.Z. report was "sane 20 or 22 year* a30M. Then, the f i r s t of what I hope w i l l be m a veries fo r ~qy run of Ky. receptions in Feb., WAFI-1560 Ky., KWM-1400 Tex., KDDD-800 Tex., a nice 250v cetch a t the m o r e chal- lenglw hi&-frequency end.

AMN E. Bruce Reynolds - Bax 2637, CMR;! c Sheppard AFB, Texas - 76311 Time fo r another rundown on DX here, which has been short

la te ly because of the HNL & a busier work sked. The e c l i ~ s e brought nothing no- t icable here, but I did g e t some mwies ea r l i e r on 3/7: I S M T - ~ ~ O @ 7:45am w/c/v; KIMO-1050 @ 8:37am, KXEN/KRVN-~O~O were in/out around 8:45, & was weak but c l ea r on 1180 @ gem. Sorry I didn't get a chance t o t r y for rlRAN t h i s MM, but I needed the sleep. I covld sure use them i n Mo., as N. J. is W only heard-but-un- verified state. Totals here at Wichita Falls: 339 Stations, 35 states, six pro- v-inces & 12 countries. Best states: Taxas-75, Okla.24, ~ans.13, M0.-17, 1a.-u, Ill.-12 & Ariz. Cal. Colo., 11 each. 73s.

needless t o say, they came i n here l i ke a 50kw-er, thou& they use only 5%. *Y should be audible throughout the whole Metropolitan area, I think. Noise level has been bad the past f a r weeks. Only recei t verie has been a C E c m from CBR, Calgary.

l i s t i w i n DDXD for 3/14. I have been collecting patterns for 18 months & core- la t ing reception w/calculations of radiated pwer t o establish agreement or d is - a,geement-calculations t o experience. The sheets do, a s he says, give pound- wave values. The resul ts have been conclusive i n favor of being able t o predict reception si tuations w/extrerne accuracy. I have traveled t o distant places and can easik- predict ahead of time what t o expect when I arrive. Recent exchan.;es w/~ichard .load confirm the correlation w e r distances up t o 5,000 miles. Consid- er the angle a t which energy m i s t leave the antenna s i t e i n order t o span long distances. The angle must be ve r j lcw, the longer t he distance, the l w e r t h e a ~ l e . Ixsmination of a ve r t i ca l plot of a normal ver t ica l brcadcast antenna shcws thpt maximum radiation on any bearing occurs a t ground level. As the ele- vation i s increasd toward ver t ica l , thd field intentisy is reduced u n t i l it reaches zero (ideally) directly w e r t he antenna. This is t rue in nul ls a s well as on peaks. The KSCO calculation gave 6 watts tcward me & I had previously es- timated ew copy of them here t o be highly unlikely. When I did copy them, it qual i f ie l as an unlikely experience, & I contacted them. I found they were 25Ow non-directional a t the tine. The estimate tha t 6w t o here from Santa C N Z is un- l ikely holds - the copy a t 250w was marginal. I am preparing an a r t i c l e fo r GFT& ctmsider~tion on t h i s subject. The object is t o present accurate information useful t o the general membership & hopefilly t o present a method by Ybich quanti- ta t ive inforotation can be made available t o those who want it. No question tha t i f i f the skip is working, the s ta t ion can be heard i f the channel is clear, but h m good a n i ~ h t do you need, and which other s ta t ions w i l l interfere hov much? The object is t o DX smr te r , & t h i s i s a s tep tward be t t e r understarding. wTIC and lEUl protect each other w/pt terns . The FCC specifies the ground-vave pattern for proof, & the CJ?a c i t e maximum allowable radiated values a t ground level. Is a l l 0s t h i s irrelevant? Aw specific information in contradiction t o t he abwe is s ince rev solicited.

a 2' IRCA sp i r a l loop, & an obsession for foreign DX. After uncountable sleep- l e s s nights, 33 s ta tes , eight prwinces & 31 countries are verified with a t o t a l of about 280 veries. I a t e s t veries: WVAB v/q fo r TESP, CFFB v / l 12/15 reception, Cuadelouped40 f / l & v/c f rm Sierra Ieone-1205. Phone ca l l s , a t 212-Lb7-3091 are most velcome, between 6 & 8pm being the l i ke l i e s t times of finding me a t hme. No early AM phone c a l l s please - I l ive with q y parents.

den has been spared. S t i l l though I have several l e t t e r s t ha t e r e bound fo r New York the t 1r3.11 be delayed. That's putt ing it mildly. Since my l a s t report I've verified the following: WJSO-1590 Jonesboro, Tenn., WJPA-1450 Washington, Pa.; W - 9 2 0 , Enu Gallie, Fla., & WCPK-1600, Chesapeake, Va. WJSO said it i s a d u - ally located i n Jchnson City, Tenn., although its license i s for Jonesboro. When did WEER of Warrenton, Va. change i t s frequency fran 1 T O t o 1250 kc/s.? By ' h e n " I mean what date or approximate& what date. ( I think it was a t leas t three years wo, Harley -mC) Concerning t h e use of Em i n DX W, it makes no diffemcce t o me what i s used.

FATHER JACK PEJZA - 120% Venturr: lvenue - Ojai, California - I just talked t o t t e erqineer a t KACY-1523, Part Hueneme,

Cal. ('why-lmee-me"). Their new 50kw. XR is installed and propam t e s t s w i l l be run the rieek of 3/22. Daytime pattern is directional t o protect t h e U.S.S. El- ectronics Iab i n Port Hueneme. Nighttime parer of 1 kw & directi-l pattern, t o protect KU4A KBBQ-15OJ & WOL-1540. are unchawed. I favor t h e continued use of S T f o r domestic reports & the use of GMT f& IDXD- I n t h e U.S., we a r e scatrered over four time zones, and the use of aq/ one time is arbitrary. The use of EI7P would lead t o mlch confusion in Spring & F a l l unless each individual time l i s ted had E T or Em behind it. ~t makes much sense t o use an Fnternstion- ally-recognized time such as GMJ? for t h e reporting of foreign stations. I gut a bonus toisy (3/18), three issues of DX NEWS (2/28, 3!7 * 3/14) a l l Postmarked 3/15! The Soston Post Office is up t o uts usual efficiency? The bash a t Jay Murlej's couple of weeks ago was most entertaining.

I had a hard time convine- iw the s ta t ion manazer t ha t I, IRCA & NRC had nothing t o do with it! I had t o go t o 1.ianrm e: rescue the tapes; t h i s explains why sane tape reporters received la te replies. The onl;. r e a l sincle cri t icism I could make of the reports was t h e number of DXers who used the SDPO c d e sustem - need I say t ha t 95% of the Sta- t i on persome1 i n the C.S. & Canade do not know what S I P 0 i s ?
