P.O. Box 501, Somersville, CT USA 06072MIKE BUGAJ MBUGAJ@SNET.NETSKIP SEASONIn the beginning, this year’s Es seasonseemed confined to the Midwest and westcoasts. DXers in those areas of NorthAmerica were blessed with some very goodskip openings, with some MUFs even headingup to the 144mhz range. Then on June 17 ththe Es FINALLY arrived on the east coastbringing a few hours of FM Es for severalDXers. So finally everybody has had a tasteof summer Es. It will be interesting to see howthis season turns out. We’ll soon find out.MEMBERS AND MOREHere we go for the period of May 13 th toJune 15 th . We’ve got some new WTFDAersand a big bunch of renewals.First we say welcome to Fritz Prentice,Jr. Fritz lives in Star City, AR and has beenbusy on the WTFDA list along with anothernew member, Randy Zerr from Ft. WaltonBeach, FL. Fritz is trying his hand at DTVDXing while Randy owns an Onkyo T450 withRDS plus a Denon tuner with RDS, so he’sloaded for bear.Also Les Prus is responsible for SteveSawyer’s membership in the WTFDA. Steveis a radio guy and works in Memphis, and if Idon’t have him confused with someone else,he’s also a New England native (MA) andwhen he’s not DXing or on the radio, he’s amoderator on the Boston board of Radio-Info.Glad to have all three of you here. Themore the merrier!Now, here we go with the renewals. Duesare received from Dave Williams (OR),Robert Ross (ON), Ken Onyschuk (IL),Harry Helms (TX), Matt Sittel (NE), PeteGiacopelli (NY), Garret Wollman (MA),Kermit Reid (GA), Randall Trapp (MN),John Griffiths (ON), Bill Grant (MA), GrayFulk (NC), Kevin Redding (AZ), DavidAustin (SC), Mike Hawk (NE), StephenPonder (TX), Edward Ritchie (WI), TimMcVey (VA), David Sinclair (BC), JoeVeldhuis (MI), Jason Koralja (NJ), RickLucas (NY), Fred Laun (MD), StanWeisbeck (WA), Frank Aden (ID), JeffKruszka (LA) and James Paige (MI). Anydues received after 6/15 will be in nextmonths VUD. I think I counted 28 membersrenewing for another year. Thank you all!Anybody out there familiar with blogs?Blogs are little animals that are digging holesin my backyard. Well no, they aren’t. Blog isshorthand for weblog, and a blog is what wewould call a journal, or a diary in precomputerdays. You’ll find many blogs on theinternet. Some are excellent (Powerlinecomes to mind) and some just plain stink. Myreason for mentioning blogs is that our ownHarry Helms has created one of the finestradio-related blogs on the internet. He’s gothis finger on the pulse of DTV, IBOC, WI-FI,and a bunch of other cutting-edge inventions Istill can’t figure out. If you want to keep upwith technology, check out The Future ofRadio at http://futureofradio.typepad.com/.Ken Onyschuk sent in an article from hislocal paper about his old high school and itsradio station, WHFH 88.5. WHFH, started asa radio club, now reaches as many as 2.5million people and just marked its 40 thanniversary! The station is managed bystudents and supervised by teachers andmany decisions are made by students, a truehands-on learning experience. The station’swebsite is http://www.whfh.org/, and if youever hear this station via tropo or Es, justthink of Ken.Ken also sent a letter regarding thechanges at WCBS 101.1 NY and WJMK104.3 Chicago. Little did Ken know that I hadbeen toying with doing a cover about thesame thing. While not strictly DX, there wereplenty of us DXers who aimed our fringeantennas at both stations and listened to theoldies because we grew up with the musicand the DJs. The flip to “Jack” just shows ushow much older (and irrelevant) many of ushave become.MADISON GET-TOGETHER 2005The 12th annual Madison-Milwaukee Gettogetherfor DXers and Radio Enthusiastsreturns to Madison this year, after a highlysuccessful gathering in Milwaukee last year.This year's event will be held on SaturdayAugust 20, beginning at 1 PM CDT.

This stuff has to go, one way oranother.IS THERE A CONVENTION THIS YEAR?Yes, Matilda, there is and John Callarmanhas more on it: “I did confirm with Tom Cusicof TM Century that he would be happy torepeat the tour he gave NRC'ers in 2003, oneof the most entertaining and outstandingradio-related tours I've seen. This will be at2:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, and WTFDA'erswill see some outstanding production facilitiesand electronic gadgetry that makes Dallas thenation's jingle headquarters.Since I haven't had little specific input fromanyone on tour ideas, I'm working on anotherthat is sort of out of left field, but will besurprisingly impressive. When Scot Fybushwas here two years ago to take pictures anddo interviews for his four-part tour of DFWstations, we visited a surprisingly neat FMoutfit, operated by Mesquite High School. It'sa 61 kw. oldies station ... playing music of the'70s (for parents of the high school kids!!) withlots of production, top equipment, etc. KEOMmay not sound like a romantic tour, but thisold broadcaster was extremely impressed ...and when I talk with Dr. Griffin, the manager,on Monday, I'll see if it might be possible toclimb their unique tower. There's an officesuite about halfway up the tower, adjacent tothe MHS football stadium. (See Fybush'swebsite for a picture.) I'm also angling for atour of WFAA Channel 8, with DX'er WallyWawro, but haven't finalized that yet.I will take out my own hotel room forThursday night and be on hand for any kindof informal gathering, ad lib, of early arrivals... there are a couple of potential attendeeswho've talked about coming in on Thursday.I have drawn a map of the Cedar Hilltower site, but having had no enthusiasmraised about an organized drive in thatdirection, I'll leave it to individual visitors tomeander that way on their own time, ifinterested.I have confirmed a second tour for theWTFDA convention with Dr. James Griffin,who oversees operations at KEOM-88.5. Itwill be at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 23. Don't letthe idea that we'll be touring a high schoolstation turn you off ... this is a highlyprofessionally operated station, wherestudents get a good hands-on learningopportunity.Explore the KEOM website atwww.keom.fmThe TMCentury tour is set for 2:30 p.m.Friday, July 22. TMCentury is more than ajingle mill, as you can see when you exploreits website at www.tmcentury.com/home.asp.The TMCentury tour was one of the highlightsof the NRC convention in 2003.”LAST BUT NOT LEASTA short time ago one of our seniormembers told me he paid no attentionwhatsoever to those red “last issue” stamps Iput on your last VUDs, so I tried somethingdifferent and it seems to be getting yourattention better. So I think the stamp will beretired. That’s all for July. Take care and seeyou next month!4

The FCC is moving up thedeadline for installing DTV tuners in TV sets.All TVs 36" or larger are to have DTV tuners by July1 st . By the same date, half of sets between 25 and36" are to be DTV-capable. In a year, all sets largerthan 25" will require DTV tuners, and in two years allsets larger than 13", and all VCRs and other "nondisplay"TV receiving devices, must receive DTVsignals.Setmakers had requested two changes in the rules:an elimination of the 7/1/2005 requirement for half of25-36" sets to be DTV-capable, and a move of thedate for all such sets from July 2006 to March.The FCC granted the latter request but denied theformer. They have also proposed to move up thedate for all 13" or larger sets from July 2007 to theend of 2006. And, there is a proposal to extend thisrequirement to all TVs, even those smaller than 13".Richard took a trip across NY State and noted thefollowing LPTVs and translators off the air: W54AK & W48AO Auburn W60AJ Cuba W62AQ Fillmore WDTB-LP (39) Hamburg W56AI Hammondsport W20AB Olean W30AJ & WNDR-LP (18) Syracuse W69AN Union Springs W56AU Wellsville & Scio W64AJ WhitesvilleWDTB-LP was bumped by WIVB-DT. Richard saysthey have special temporary authority for 4 watts(gee, even less than KGFE!) on channel 40from the HSBC tower in downtown Buffalo, but thatsignal was not on when Richard visited in earlyJune.Most of the rest of these stations carried WCNY-24or WNED-17. Richard says WNED only has fivetranslators left in Allegany County; all the translatorsthey "inherited" in Cattaraugus County in the early1980s are now gone. The WCNY translators wereall within the primary station's Grade A contour.Richard also noted WHSU-CA (51) Syracuse nowwith "America Shops", formerly Cornerstone religion.Good DX!FCC to Change How it Allocates FMsThe FCC is considering several changes toFM allocation rules in response to a petitionby First Broadcasting.Some broadcasters have characterizedcertain rules as cumbersome. One of themost significant changes would classify achange of community of license as a minorchange in an application filing.Susquehanna Radio Corp. supports themove; it told the FCC that such changes takean inordinate amount of time to process, up to6 years in one case for Susquehanna.The commission votes on these and otherproposals, including streamlining the processof downgrading a Class C station to a ClassC0, on Thursday.

Jeff KadetMacomb, ILThanks very much to Victor Frank, the fastest typistin the West, for doing Western DX, also to Davetaking over.It has been a while since sending in a report. InNovember, 2003 I earned 6 meter DXCC certificate#699.Due to a heavy workload during the 2004 Esseason, I couldn't be in front of TVs all the time, soabout 50% of DX was recorded on a JVCcamcorder set in front of the 5 skip TVs during hotopenings. I've only gone through 1 of the 5cassettes so far, so there still may be somegoodies on them. All the tapes have a date andtime stamp so it's easy to know when what wasrecorded. I play the tapes back on a 60" HDTVmonitor, so they are almost the original size whenviewed, but a bit blurrier than the originals.This is what has been reconstructed from 2004 sofar from the tapes, and also from submissions tohttp://dxworld.com/tvfmlog.html. All 2004 times areUTC. There are two new Es loggings listed.One is a "Tele-Rebelde" from Cuba on ch. 2 onJuly 17 which, because of conditions, I am almostcertain had to come from extreme western Cuba.I'm counting it as the 6KW in Babinay, Pinar del Riounless anyone has information otherwise.The other was K06JM, Gillette, WY, a 3KWtranslator of KOTA-3, seen on June 24.So far in 2005, one new Es station has been seen. Ihad two ch. 6's from Cuba in on May 31 withdifferent programming. One has to be new bydefault, as only one ch. 6 in Cuba (Habana?) hasbeen previously seen.2004 Loggings (all times UTC)May 28, 200422:54 color bar TP on ch. 2 to SW. an odd time22:58 XE ch. 623:02 K-SAN channel 3May 29, 200400:15 XELN-4 Torreon text ID00:18 wonder who this CB TP w/no ID on ch. 2 is??02:00 WBRZ-212:51 CB TP w/no ID ch. 2June 2, 200418:01 KNAZ-2 Flagstaff, AZJune 7, 200415:57 3/4 Color Bars on ch. 2 is probably in CubasomewhereJune 8, 2004June 19, 200416:34 XE video ch. 6+June 20, 200400:06 muf ch. 6+ to S.

May 26 and May 31 stole the show, especially the latter. The latemorning session I heard in the car in the parking lot at work, but was fortunate enough to be home for the evening event,which was hampered by thunderstorms rolling overhead. FM was open for 4 hours on the evening of the 31st! Log totalhas really jumped, now up to 1,070.I have a new tuner, the Denon TU-1500RD, and a new FM antenna to go with it. I mounted the APS-9B on the backporch atop a 10-foot mast. It's only about half as high as the TV antennas on the roof but does a great job. Thedirectionality of the APS-9B has really opened up some frequencies.

I had nothingto parallel it with at the time. I kept this reception in mind and exactly an hour later I heard the same song onCBKM-98.5.(2) Tape loop talking about Foam Lake, Quill Lake, a gift shop in Wynyard, and several other publicaccommodations. “You’re listening to 103.5 FM, Wadena Radio” about every three minutes. This 48 watter wasthere for almost 15 minutes! No calls listed in the FM Atlas. I found these calls on the net.(3) “Fox Forecast” giving a high of 24 degrees on HD radio. Interesting that I had another shot a this one less than afortnight after blowing it the first time. I called them and played the tape and they were pretty surprised when Itold them where this faint taping was made. They confirmed it was them. As far as any more U.S. or Canadianstates and territories for me to log “Stick a fork in me…I’m done.” With only AK, HI, NF and the other territoriesunlogged, I don’t expect to add to that total.(4) Very weird opening. Nothing very strong at all. A brief 96.7 audible only on the “tower”. Possible west coaster? Inoted that right around this time Ralph Strobel logged Henderson NV 94.1.(5) This opening was top-of-the-dial MUF most of the time but I got nailed by strong regional tropo even on the skipantenna.(6) I’m pretty sure I heard this station in March when I was in West Palm Beach.

JENSEN4604 ANTANNA AVE, Baltimore, MD 21206-4220SCISATMAN@AOL.COMAnother month a few changes, but lots of rumors abound. The biggest forwarded to me from a majorprogrammer concerned the movement of the Starz/Encore plex from C Band to KuBand - particularlythe Small Dish market. Will that be available to the big dish owner - ??? - The push seems to be forDirectTV. More when available. At this writing there has been no change.On NSS at 40 west - Tele Caribe had been replaced by Canal TRO at 754 - El Canal Del GranSantander in Santander which is somewhat south of Bogota. The cluster of digicipher channels onPan An Sat at 43 west - 750 to 760 appears to have had its beam redirected somewhat in thisdirection. On one of the channels, there has been a promo for a premium channel and is currentlycolor bars. The others are indicating a "subscription required" notice. Signal is great and hopefullywhen I get my MPEG2 DVB receiver back on line I will see a greatly improved signal from thosechannels as well. On AMC 10 at 135 west - channel 610 is the new home of History Channel West,A short column this month - which is better than no news and hopefully a much bigger column nextmonth.

Theproposed changes stemmed from a petition filed byFirst Broadcasting Investment Partners, LLC thisspring (RM-10960).Public comments (Docket 05-210) are due 60 daysupon publication in the Federal Register.

Here in the Country’s mid-section, conditions have been OK,but far from stellar. Guys in the Northern Tier of states have gotten very little,and are complaining about it. But, if you live in the far West, conditions havebeen very good.Recent highlights I have seen reported include some brief 144 MHz Es inthe West – one member of the e-mail group made a contact from BritishColumbia into Colorado. On the 6 meter side, Jeff Kadet worked Mauritania fromIllinois.The ARRL VHF QSO Party has come and gone, and, sadly, conditionswere pretty quiet. I made some contacts to the West, but operators on the EastCoast got even less. Let’s hope Field Day will be better this year. I will beworking with the W4EM group here in Memphis, operating from an interestinglocation – the tower site hosting WKNO-TV, WLMT-TV, and a bunch of localFMs. My group will be up on 6m, with a halo at about 100 feet; 2 meters will bevertical even higher!

ROAD RAGE – A NEW LEVELAND PERHAPS A NEW SOURCE OF FM DX?Developed by a group of current and formermaster's students at the Human ComputerInteraction Institute, the Roadcasting projectwould allow drivers to stream their MP3 musiccollections by Wi-Fi or similar technology toany other vehicle within range that isequipped with compatible hardware andsoftware.The system -- still largely theoretical -- willalso feature a collaborative-filteringmechanism that compares music in arecipients' collection to that of thebroadcaster. The filter will pump out a mix ofsongs matching the listener's tastes."What's really cool about this is that whileyou're busy (driving), Roadcasting will justpick songs that you enjoy," said MathildePignol, one of the Roadcasting developers,"and then it will let you influence the songswith your music taste without you having to doanything."Roadcasting was commissioned by a "majorautomaker" looking for applications to makeuse of mobile ad hoc networks that will beincluded in production cars in the next fewyears. Pignol would not say which companythe team had worked for, but Carnegie Mellonresearchers have a history of working forGeneral Motors on so-called cars of thefuture.According to Dan Benjamin, senior analystwith ABI Research , several automakers andthe Department of Transportation mayimplement mobile ad hoc networks as earlyas 2007.Using 802.11p technology, a Wi-Fi variantdesigned for vehicles, mobile ad hocnetworks would serve two importantpurposes, Benjamin said. First, vehicles withbuilt-in 802.11p could serve as nodes in meshnetworks and send each other safetynotifications in case of accidents, or potentialaccidents. Acting as nodes in a mesh, eachcar would extend the network's signal a mileat a time.Secondly, Benjamin said, vehicles with suchtechnology could serve as nodes and pass ontraffic information that would help driverschoose the most efficient routes to theirdestinations."It definitely has a societal benefit," Benjaminsaid.Some auto industry experts think that whilethe technology is a ways off, car companieswill be eager to adopt projects likeRoadcasting."I definitely can see a carmaker jump in, justlike General Motors jumped in with XMRadio," said Walter Keegan, the author ofAutoblog . "Just to tout the next big thing or tohave something different.... That would be abig selling point."Roadcasting has been compared to twosimilar personal-audio projects: SoundPryer,which lets people create mobile ad hocnetworks for eavesdropping on music beingplayed on nearby MP3 players, and tunA , asimilar system employing Wi-Fi to jack intonearby music gadgets.Of course, given that Roadcasting calls for anontraditional approach to broadcasting,some worry it will cross legal boundaries;after all, broadcasters must pay licensing feesto The American Society of Composers,Authors and Publishers.But Pignol and her four teammates on theproject think Roadcasting is on solid legalground."We've noticed a lot of people blogging aboutit calling it pirate radio," Pignol said. "Butthere's no reason it has to be illegal. It's yourown music that you're broadcasting."Jason Schultz, a staff attorney at theElectronic Frontier Foundation , agreed, butsaid the Roadcasting team might want toprepare itself for being contacted by therecording industry's lawyers."I'm sure the RIAA is going to have problemswith this," Schultz said. "But that doesn'tmean it's illegal."In fact, he explained, because Roadcastinguses streaming technology to broadcastsongs and doesn't result in the permanenttransfer of music files, it is probably safe frominfringing behavior."It's quite similar to how (Apple Computer's)iTunes works, with its subnet sharing,"Schultz explained, "in that they can streamthe music and listen to it, but as soon as theylog off, it all disappears. Many peopleconsider that to be fair use, because of theephemeral nature of the music."In fact, he said, Roadcasting is at theforefront of what he called "me-to-me"technology, in which small networks ofdozens of users utilize new broadcastingmedia instead of massive networks of millionsof users."This is the next big challenge for the RIAA,"said Schultz. "If they thought file sharing overP2P networks was a threat to their businessmodel, then this is a whole different challengethat they have to adapt to, because there's noway they can police this."(Thanks to by Bob Cooper)62
