SEPTEMBER 2011
Welcome to the Mailbox for September. Big news this month is the passing of Dr. Bruce Elving.
We’ve devoted our cover this month to Bruce and you’ll read more about Bruce in this issue. One
item that I’ve not seen reported anywhere is the fact that Brucey not only edited an FM column for
DX Horizons magazine, but for many years was FM News editor for the WTFDA, and if you look at
his old columns in the VUD you will see that he carried on the format into his FMedia newsletter.
Bruce didn’t just have a love for FM, it was more like a passion. I don’t know if anyone with that
passion exists anymore.
When I wrote last month that you could expect delays in receiving your paper VUDs, I wasn’t
thinking about hurricanes at the time. But Irene has her sights on Southern New England. My
antennas are down and we’re doing what we have to do to ride out the storm. I would imagine the
power will go out at some point and we will be out of action for a while. Those members who read the
eVUD will probably see their magazine long before our paper readers will.
This month we welcome Johnny Rogers to the club. John is N4JDR and lives in Silver Creek, GA.
Welcome Johnny!
Renewals are in for the period of July 17 through August 12 from Jeff Falconer (ON), Randy
Miltier (OR), Nick Lombardi (GA), Steve Walko (PA), Eugene Hinton (CA), Roy Barstow (MA),
Rich McVicar (NY), Bob Smolarek (NY), Ron Purdue (MN), Bob Hawkins (IN), Anders Akerlind
(Sweden), Ron Rader (IA), Curtis Sadowski (IL), Bob Timmerman (IN), Ralph Strobel (IN), Fred
MacCormack (MN), Jeff Lehmann (MA), Tommy Adair (TN), John Zondlo (OK), Steve Rich (IN)
and William Lindsay (WA). We’re glad to see you come back for another year!
Ralph Strobel writes “This has been a pathetic E-skip season. Even though it’s 100 degrees here
now, no trop at all as in previous years. I was in Couer d’Alene, Idaho June 23-28 as my brother and
his wife had a 50th wedding anniversary party. Andy Bolin said I didn’t miss much…” Ralph also
mentioned that he was gone from July 5 through the 10th and was told that there was no Es back in
Indiana during those times.
Michael Levintow (D.C.) writes about the conversion
from paper to electronic VUD. Michael says the club needs
a paper publication but he would stay a member if we offer
the eVUD. He makes some compelling arguments for
keeping the paper VUD, some of which I agree with,
believe it or not. However, reality returns and smacks us in
the head. Publishing an online e-zine is not that much work.
Publishing a paper magazine is work and we haven’t had
any serious volunteers to take on the job.
I really don’t want to beat the horse to death here again.
But I will say that some of the columns are printed in 8 point
type or 9 point type to keep the formatting correct. I’m 65
with bi-focals and I have a tough time sometimes reading
this stuff myself! If I blow up the eVUD to 115% then I can
read anything easily. And my eyes thank me for doing it!
I will say that this column looks light-years better when viewed on a monitor than when attempting
to read the paper version. Doug discovered the same about his column TV News when he began
receiving the e-zine. There’s no comparison. But some will never believe me. See you in 30!

For those who log their TV DX by transmitter site, note
that WBUY-TV (virtual 40/RF 41) has moved across
the state line, from Mississippi to Tennessee. The
station now transmits from the WPTY-TV (virtual 24/RF
25) and WLMT-TV (virtual 30/RF 31) tower east of
Memphis.
Canadian stations in so-called “mandatory markets”
should have gone digital or gone dark a few days ago.
Those operating above channel 51 should have either
moved to lower channels or gone dark.

The CBC filed a last-minute plea to allow some of their
stations to continue in analog, and in some cases
above channel 51. These applications have been
granted, but only for one year. The stations involved:

Thanks to Ed Phelps and Bob Seaman for information
appearing elsewhere in this column.
The FCC has placed a freeze on applications, for both
full-power and LPTV stations, to use channel 51. They
have also lifted the freeze on channel changes for
existing full-power stations, if a full-power station on
channel 51 wishes to move to a lower channel; and
they have opened a 60-day window for LPTV stations
with pending applications for use of channel 51 to
amend those applications to move to a lower channel.

This change in facilities is permanent – not
subject to the one year time limit.

This is a significant power reduction; along with
installation of a directional antenna, it will prevent this
transmitter from covering Fredericton. Speaking of
which, the separate digital transmitter to cover
Fredericton has been approved.
It will run
7.36kw/103m on channel 31.
If call letters are
assigned in sequence, this one will be CBAT-DT-7.
Cellular-phone interests requested the freeze, as well
as a rulemaking to permanently prevent the licensing of
new stations on this channel. They fear adjacentchannel interference to their operations above that
channel.
At least at this time, the freeze is temporary, lasting for
sixty days.
[2]
English-language CBVE-TV will take over the
analog transmitter formerly used by French-language
CBVT. CBVT has gone to digital operation on channel
12.
As you remember from last month, the FCC has
increased the maximum power limit for VHF digital
LPTV stations from 300 watts to 3,000 watts, matching
the limit for analog LPTVs.
[3]
English-language CBMT-1 will take over the
analog transmitter formerly used by French-language
CKTM-TV. CKTM has gone to digital operation on
CBMT-1's former analog channel 28. Despite the
callsign, CKTM-TV is a CBC-owned station.
K13XD in Fairbanks, Alaska wasted no time in taking
advantage of this change. They have become the first
VHF LPDTV to request a power increase beyond 300
watts.
The 12-channel “wireless cable” operation at Tracadie,
Nova Scotia has surrendered its license for
cancellation. Channels used were 16, 30, 32, 42, 44,
46, 48, 52, 56, 58, 60, and 66.
WHRO-TV (RF 16/virtual 15) has asked the FCC to
change its city of license from Hampton-Norfolk,
Virginia to Norfolk, Virginia – Elizabeth City, North
Carolina.
Good DX!
No technical changes are planned. My bet is the idea
is to obtain must-carry protection on cable systems in
areas of northeastern North Carolina, just across the
border from Norfolk.

NEWS ITEM: On August 4, we learned of the death of Dr. Bruce Elving, Publisher of the FM Atlas, backer of all things FM, and
good friend. Our condolences to his family.
NEWS ITEM: Translators aren’t just for filling in FM signal coverage gaps anymore.
They have become a more important part of radio owners’ spectrum strategy toolkit. Many commercial and noncommercial
radio operators — both AM and FM — are using FM translators in ways previously unimagined, not only supplementing local
signal coverage but leveraging them to gain a more lucrative footprint on the FM dial for content that originally airs on AM
stations or FM HD2/HD3 channels.
Demand for translators also is increasing as broadcasters realize they effectively can create additional radio stations in
markets by location-hopping and moving towards more heavily populated areas, according to several technical radio
observers.
An FM translator retransmits the signal of an AM or FM radio station without significantly altering characteristics of the
original other than its frequency and amplitude. FM translators historically have been used to fill in coverage where terrain
blockage was an issue.
There were 6,141 licensed FM translators and boosters as of March 2011, according to the FCC. That compares to 3,897 in
2005 and 3,243 in 2000, according to commission data. FM boosters essentially are translators that operate on the same
frequency as the primary station. The FCC doesn’t distinguish between FM translators and boosters in its database.
Approximately 500 FM translators simulcast AM broadcast stations. That’s a measure of the success of a rule change,
adopted just two summers ago, allowing AMs to use existing FM translators in certain circumstances.
Observers say radio’s evolving translator strategies simply take advantage of current translator rules. For instance, a
broadcaster can add a fill-in translator with power up to 250 watts regardless of antenna height as long as it does not exceed
the protected contour of the associated primary station.
Interestingly, the 60 dBu of a 250 watt fill-in translator at 2,000 feet height above average terrain presents the same coverage
area as a Class B or C2 FM station, thus “creating fairly high-power entities,” said Doug Vernier, president of broadcast
engineering consulting firm V-Soft Communications.
This creative use of translators is a fairly recent phenomenon, Vernier said, as broadcasters have learned to recognize the
opportunities.
“A fill-in at 250 watts in a small town could cover 10 miles. People have also figured out how they can move translators into
AM coverage areas and the FCC seems more comfortable with that. The rules really haven’t changed, but the benefits have,”
Vernier said.
NEWS ITEM: News Item: The FCC reported a "notable" drop in the number of complaints it received about radio and television
in the third quarter compared to the prior three months. The complaint statistic tends to be volatile, based on factors such as
the time of year new TV programs are introduced as well as the timing of coordinated campaigns by advocacy groups. The
commission said radio/TV-related complaints decreased from 25,162 in the prior three months to 2,611, a drop of more than
89%. "This decrease appears to be attributable to a substantial volume of complaints received during the second quarter that
were a product of campaigns against particular programs," it stated. The majority of complaints continue to be related to
programming. The FCC reported that in the three-month period, it received the following number of complaints related to
radio and TV:
Interference: 127
Digital TV: 288
Programming General Criticisms: 288
Other Programming: 950
Programming: Indecency/Obscenity: 958
"Inquiries", which it tracks separately, also fell. The number of radio and television broadcasting inquiries decreased by
about 29% from 4,883 to 3,490. More than half of those also pertained to broadcast programming. Overall, the number of
complaints in the top four reported categories (which also include things like cable and satellite services and unsolicited
faxes) fell some 30%.

Remembering Dr. Bruce Elving
My remembrance of Bruce Elving.
I first met Bruce at my home im Bloomington, MN in 1957. He had
stopped by for some reason, I guess to meet a fellow DXer. The ironic
part is that we both grew up in Duluth, MN, living some 6 or so blocks
apart. The Duluth hillside, where we both lived, had an un-obstructed
view for some 50 or so miles across Lake Superior: great for Dxing back
then! Bruce was several years behind me in high school, so I never met
him at school.
Back in the early days of the FM Atlas, around 1971 or so, when I
was working at Control Data, I had keypunch operators punch a mess of
cards for Bruce to use for his FM Atlas. I really don't recall how many
cards were punched or how I got the girls to do it on company time, but it
did get done. Somehow, I wish I had saved a card or two, as they would
be antiques now.
Bruce was a person who tended to be frugal, and we co-subscribed
to several magazines and would meet in Cloquet, MN, on the way home
from our cabin, to exchange the magazines and converse. We also cohosted a WTFDA convention many years ago at his home in Esko, MN.
Bruce & Carol had a 40th `anniversary' get together last year at the
Woman's Club in Duluth, as they weren't sure of reaching any more
milestones in the future. My wife & I attended, and it was recorded on
video along with a short speech I gave. We also attended a wedding or
two when their daughters were married.
I guess he considered me one of his closest friends, as he confided
many health issues with me. He was also fighting Prostate cancer, and
he believed that the newer method of treatment, called "Proton
Therapy", offered by a clinic (?) in Loma Linda, CA, would help. His
hopes were high, as Dr's in Duluth gave him only 5-10 years to live. It
turned our rather ironic! Talking with his wife, Carol, she said his heart
gave out, although he never mentioned any heart problems to me.
These Proton treatments were very expensive, and I tried to tell him that
there are a lot of `quack' treatments in California, and to be careful. But,
he was bound and determined to go out there for, what would have
been, a period of about 3 months for treatments.
Bruce was a very religious person, and I guess that he is looking down on Earth and getting a
whole world full of FM signals in his present location in Heaven.
John Ebeling, Bloomington, MN August 19, 2011
Robert Ross, Ontario
That's a Real Shame......an FM DX Legend and true Innovator in the Field of FM DXing!!!
Exchanged many emails with Bruce over the years....he will be deeply missed....RIP Bruce!!
Russ Edmunds, Pennsylvania
I have known Bruce Elving since my days at Syracuse University in the mid-1960's, where he
taught a couple of broadcasting classes I took. Our DX'ing bond became quite evident even then,
when FM was still quite young. His interests at that time were FM and TV, mine mostly AM and
some FM. We've corresponded sporadically over the years but I had not had any subsequent
opportunity to see him face to face after 1968. I have always considered him as a friend, and I am
saddened to hear of his passing. Our hobby owes him a great deal.
Bob Timmerman, Indiana
Very sad news. I started dxing 30 years ago when I was 13, and I always had a copy of the FM
Atlas. It was an invaluable resource.
This is really sad news.
Saul Chernos, Toronto
It will be hard to pick up an FM Atlas, now, without thinking about Bruce. We e-mailed back and
forth on occasion - he'd read a logging of mine and want to know more about the station, or I'd
have a question about formats or a listing in the Atlas. In recent years I bought two books, as I
have tended to ruin them through overuse. Pages are already falling out of the latest one, but now
I think I'll avoid the better copy so it can remain as intact as possible. We met a couple of times at
22
WTFDA and ODXA conventions. At one of them, I purchased a radio he outfitted with an SCA
adapter.
Really, Bruce is among a handful of DXers whose roots truly lie deep and who played a role in
developing the hobby. He will be seriously missed.
Jim Renfrew, New York
Sad to hear this news about Bruce. I met him at least once that I can recall, maybe at wtfda in
Syracuse. But his FM Atlas has been a constant companion since I found one for sale in an
electronics shop around 1970, 2nd edition I think. The FMA was a LOT thinner then! In fact, I just
sent Bruce a typo that I spotted in the most recent edition, so I was obviously eagerly awaiting a
new edition. Thanks to the man who put Adolph on the map! Bruce will be missed.
Karl Zuk, New York
I am stunned by this news.
I was very privileged to know Bruce.
I admired him for his knowledge and passion for FM DXing and SCA.
He was talented in so many ways.
A true gentleman, he was always willing to help with questions.
We had some great conversations.
I had a long interview with him during my tenure as editor of Monitoring Times' American
Bandscan.
I will miss him greatly.
He was old-school and a fine, fine friend.
My saddest condolences to Carol and Kristine.
I will always remember his kindness and warmth.
God bless Bruce.
Fred Nordquist, South Carolina
Shocked to see Bruce Elving untimely passing.
He came by my home to talk dx upon moving to Syracuse back in 1969, and we have
corresponded many times on FM dx matters, & bought most of his
FM Atlas booklets over the years. Yes he will be sorely
missed!
Dave Pomeroy, Kansas
I think I met Bruce back in the 70s at an AIPA meeting in Buffalo. I have had correspondence
with him off and on over the years and always enjoyed hearing from him. I am saddened by his
passing, but glad that I met him and that he was a part of my DXing.
Gary Olson, Florida
So sorry to hear we have lost one of DXing's pioneers. I heard of Bruce's FM exploits around
1956 when I started TV DXing. I got a chance to meet him for the first time at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the late 60s. Bruce had worked there and I worked there for awhile after
he left and he returned to meet with a group of us who were trying to expand WTFDA into a better
club. Dave Janowiak, Morrie Goldman and a few others were involved. I communicated with
Bruce from time to time over the intervening decades always marveling what he had done with an
idea he had for what became the FM Guide he produced for so many years.
Yes, another one of us "old guys" is gone but fortunately the hobby lives on!
Jeff Kadet, Illinois
Brucey (as he liked to be called) was kind enough to let me visit him and Carol for 3 days a few
years ago. I enjoyed looking at all his old FM veries plus the "famous" typewriter. He will be sorely
missed
David Sinclair, Vancouver BC
I am sad to hear that Bruce passed away. I remember visiting with Bruce and Carol at our
Convention at Omaha during July, 1994. Prior to this I corresponded with Bruce several times. My
sympathies to Carol and family.
John Lentz, Wisconsin
My condolences. I was at the WTFDA convention he hosted in Esko. I can't recall offhand
when that was 1987?. I recall meeting him not to long ago, perhaps at Bill Dvorak when he last
hosted the Milwaukee-Madison GTG 3 years ago.

A “big red blob” of tropo encompasses the Mountainlake APRS map on August 2, across the Plains and Midwest.
________________________________________________________________________________
The Editor’s Note
The first week of August brought some good tropo in the Plains, Midwest, and western Great Lakes.
Conditions since then almost everywhere have been pretty quiet. That means it’s time to take a look at reports
from the past E-Skip season, and we have quite a few of them for you inside this edition of Coast to Coast TV
DX.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge Ed Phelps’ (NN2E) 600th DTV log, WGN-DT, which came on July 25.
Ed is the first known DXer to log 600 DTVs. Way to go Ed, quite an achievement!

Seems I haven't sent a report with so many new
stations to the log in decades! 10 new stations in
DTV alone (I had only 8 new DTV stations in the
whole year of 2007!) The pre-dawn of 8/2 blew the
lid off my DTV tropo bests ( I had questioned
whether I would ever get WHBF). Strange thing
about this one is that Chicago seemed to be
"locked out" despite being in the path. Perhaps the
top of the Willis Tower was above the duct?
Another Tr opening not to forget was the Ontario
opening over the night of July 21 and 22 - just
hours after Detroit's temperature hit 100° for the
first time in 16 years, and just in time, as some of
these stations will shut down at the end of August
with Canada's digital transition. In this opening,
stations tended to come and go, but this was good,
as some stations only could be identified after
others on the same channel faded out. The VX-5
also came in very handy when lowband channels
had 4 stations coming in at the same time.
Some new stations were actually not that far away
at all. WCPO and WSYX recently moved to UHF
channels. WSYX, WLLA and WFQX had to be
strong enough to overcome strong local signals
(WMNT-CA, WDIV and CICO32, respectively).
Note that I've logged a "new" WFQX (DT) once
before - but that was channel 47 from TL near
Kalkaska, which is now WPBN. WFQX on 32 is
another facility next door to WWTV near Cadillac.
CKLT1 is one of those stations I know I've actually
seen dozens of times before, but only this time,
after I logged it with a local ad for an NB business,
did I realize it was "new". I had always been
content to log it as tentative, as CJCB is also CTV
Atlantic and has a minus offset 3 in Nova Scotia.

Es season about over here--hope for a few more
openings. This season seemed below average to
me. 7-12 the best Es day here w/lots of Mexicans
& a couple of new ones. 7-22 was best trops, w/5
new DTVs logged. Let’s hope the fall brings more
trops.

1211 WEHT 7 IN Evansville (7-2: local
programming) 165/266
July 11’s tropo opening, while it allowed me to log
two new Illinois FM stations from the northern part
of the state, only allowed me to have a relog of
WGN 19, carrying the noon newscast cable viewers
can also get via WGN America. I also noted the
signal meter lighting up on 12, 27 and 29, but
couldn’t get any signals to decode. July 12 was
mainly short tropo. The E-skip openings on July 19
and 24 were into Mexico. On one of the Mexican
stations, I noted an ad for 97.7 Kiss FM, promoting
a Classic Hits format. Looking at the FM Atlas,
there’s a 97.7 assigned to Merida in the state of
Yucatan. If you see the ad for 97.7 Kiss FM on
channel 2, you’ve pulled in XHY. The surprise of
the opening of July 19 was XHDEH 6, running a
public service announcement for the state of
Chihuahua. On July 24, I added another new TV
country with the log of Televicentro on analog
channel 2 from Nicaragua. They were carrying an
aquatic event from California with Spanish
language commentary, with promos mentioning
Televicentro. Again, short trop wrapped up the DX
day on July 24. The next morning, I noted the

network switch in Evansville, as noted in Doug
Smith’s column in the August VUD. WTVW now
identifies as “Local 7”, while Fox has been noted on
WEHT 7 is concerned, 7.2 airs primarily local
programming; some of which is produced by WAZU
20. The July 27 opening brought one new DTV in
WTTV 48; I only logged them once in analog days
on channel 4 (that was with KMOV nulled). In the
wee hours of the following morning, a long-wanted
station was finally logged with the reception of
WHBF 4. The signal wasn’t strong enough to hold
for an ID and video capture, but was lucky to catch
it again three days later, and it held for an ID and
video capture. The August 1 opening started in
Indiana and Kentucky. I logged only my second
low-power DTV outside St. Louis in that opening,
with the log of WJTS-LD 18. That turned out to be
my 35th Indiana DTV. I was also able to null WRBU
47 enough to log WAVE’s main channel, but it
didn’t hold so I could determine what was on the
sub-channels. The opening extended into Michigan
later in the evening; the only new log was WZPX
44. Even a Canadian analog made it in on 32. After
midnight, I was able to log several Illinois stations;
WMAQ 29 was the only Chicago station that made
it in. The opening finally faded by 1600 CDT, but
not before I got another relog of WEHT 7. The
analog TV log now stands at 554, with the digital
count now at 137. 73.
WEVV 45.2. I was able to null out KUMO-LD 51 to
pull in WMYO. As far as the second channel of

Jul 10-11 tropo at my place, ch 2 unID, weak, at
the same time as 3 XHTJB (Once TV) Tijujana BN,
fair tropo at 200 mi SE. Both were also seen on
other July dates. The Ch-2 showed only vague
silhouettes and no sound,
programming undetermined. New stn on air? It
could be anywhere to SE along Calif coast or north
Baja. Not seen at Don's place. His ant has no
rotor for exact direction.

This report is for July 2011. Much of month had
high pressure here, allowing rather consistent
tropo, though still not great conditions beyond its
steadiness. Maybe warmer ocean water
temperature helped. I hadn't thought of that as a
factor. In June, our local ocean temp was 55F but
by July 2 was 62F. Jul 3 up to 66, and San Diego
reported 70. At mid-Jul down to 63 here, where it
still is. So-Calif coastal tropo to

If there was a phrase to describe this report, it’s “nothing short of amazing.” The opening of July 11
37
brought numerous stations in from northern and central Illinois, adding two more with the logs of
WSPY 107.1 and WALS 102.1. Semi-local WLCA 89.9 was off on July 16, allowing me to log WCBU
and KHIS. I logged KHIS off the back side of the antenna. The E-skip opening into Mexico on July 19
brought new logs from Chihuahua (XHDI 88.5) and Coahuila (XHCTO 93.1). Tropo started to heat up
on the evening of July 24 with an opening into KY and western MO. On the morning of July 25, I
logged WJLT 105.3, which I last heard back in the ‘90s as WYNG. With semi-local WAOX on the
frequency, that got to be a tough go. WVUB 91.1 was added to the log the same morning, nulling out
WIBI to pull this one in. That same evening, I pulled in several stations from Chicago and northern
Indiana, including that “Franken-FM” known as WLFM-LP. They are no longer using “The El” as their
slogan, but rather “Chicago’s Smooth 87.7”. The format sounded more like Smooth AC than Smooth
Jazz. Another new Indiana FM was added before the midnight hour. WMYK 98.5 is the 47th FM
logged from Indiana at my QTH. The next night, FM stations made it in from five different states; the
opening pretty much went from Bloomington, IN and Henderson, KY in the east to Kansas City in the
west, and north toward Chicago. Everything broke loose on July 31, August 1 and 2. The opening
started with relogs of stations from northwestern MO, southeast NE and southwest IA on the evening
of July 31. The opening extended through August 1, with new stations from IA, MO, NE and SD in the
wee hours of the morning. KEXS 106.1 was noted for Missouri FM #159, and KIHK 106.9 was noted
for Iowa FM #59. One new NOAA Weather Radio station was added from Nebraska with the log of
WXL73 in Bassett, in the north central part of the state. The programming originates from the National
Weather Service office in North Platte; what gave it away was that times on the warnings and
advisories were expressed in Central and Mountain Daylight times. That afternoon, I pulled in a new
Wisconsin FM with the log of WWIB 103.7. A check of their Web site noted a link to the web site of
WOGO (AM). This is because one of the ads in the cluster after Family News in Focus was voiced by
syndicated financial talk show host Dave Ramsey. The action shifted to Illinois and Iowa in the early
evening hours, before mid-evening brought in stations from Kentucky and Tennessee. The late night
hours brought in 10 new Michigan FM stations. Two of the FM stations I logged were ones whose
programming I also heard on AM: WBBL 107.3 (formerly on 1340 in Grand Rapids) and WOOD 106.9
(simulcast on 1300, also in Grand Rapids). Even with WHHL 104.1’s transmitter site six miles north of
my QTH, I logged WOMC 104.3 for my fifth Motown FM. Michigan was also added on NOAA Weather
Radio with the log of KZZ33 on 162.525 from Mount Pleasant. The programming for this station
originates from the National Weather Service office in Grand Rapids. Ohio was also added on NOAA
Weather Radio with the log of WXL51 162.500 from Toledo. The programming for the Toledo station
originates at the NWS office in Cleveland. The 100th NOAA Weather Radio station logged at this QTH
was heard in the wee hours of August 2 with the log of WXK81 162.400 Onondaga, MI, a wide spot in
the road near Lansing and Jackson. Like KZZ33, the programming originates at the NWS office in
Grand Rapids. I came into the opening with just 11 Michigan FM stations logged…that number nearly
doubled to 21 by the time it was over. An unusual situation I noted was with the translators for WARW
89.5 Dorsey, IL. The translator in Bellefontaine (north of Spanish Lake), K268BF on 101.5, was noted
on July 25 relaying WXRT 93.1 Chicago (the pickup comes from W226BC 93.1 in Brighton, IL) and
WIBC 93.1 Indianapolis. The situation repeated itself on August 1, when K268BF was noted relaying
KKYA 93.1 Yankton, SD. I turned my radio to 93.1, and sure enough, KKYA was in on that frequency,
too. W226BC, which picks up the Air 1 programming from WARW, was relaying WKPB Henderson,
KY and KCFV Ferguson, MO instead of WARW in that same opening. KCFV is a local on 89.5, so I
couldn’t hear WKPB. That same evening, I was noting K268BF also relaying WKPB. Toward the end
of the opening, I noted K268BF relaying WYDS 93.1 Decatur, IL. As of August 5, 2011, the FM total
is now at 1,144, the NOAA Weather Radio total at 100. 73.

From the Editor
Good to get at least a little bit of DX this summer. Seems the last few years all I get is from the north and the
east. Sure would be nice to get a good opening to the northeast of here!
As you’ve seen elsewhere in this VUD the FM DX community lost a true giant recently in Bruce Elving. To say
he will be sorely missed would be an understatement. I was very fortunate to get to spend time with him at
many conventions, including the last one I hosted here back in 2002. My condolences go out to Carol and the
family. I daresay there will never be another one quite like him.

Wow! What a month! I've been primarily FM DXing since 2008, when I replaced my CM 4228
with an APS-9B. The antenna situation here is difficult, not because of zoning restrictions but
because of the way my roof is slanted; I bought an XG91 in the Spring of 2010, which I still
have to put up (if it ever gets up!). I would have really liked to have had it for some of the
tropo openings lately. July 2011 was my most successful DXing month ever, with 131 new
stations received.
The last time I was actively FM DXing was in June 2010. On July 3, 2010, a house fire started
in the bedroom across the hall from mine. None of my possessions were actually burnt, but
many had a persistent smell of smoke on them, and we were out of the house for over a
month. When we returned, only two rooms were habitable, and the entire upstairs was still
under reconstruction. I really only moved back into my normal room after my trip to Mexico
(April 1st), and bought a Y-RCA cable so I could use my XDR-F1HD with my Squeezebox on
June 30th. I now have my nine year old desktop computer back in service and primarily use
that as an “amplifier” for my XDR-F1HD, as well as for recording with Audacity.
On the evening of July 21st, I was without a working laptop charger, and the nearly two hours
of inactivity between 2235 and 0025 were spent 1) (mostly) unsuccessfully trying for distant
DTVs with my APS-9B plugged into a Voom receiver (my DTT900 is either lost or was stolen)
and 2) dragging my desktop computer upstairs to supplant my laptop computer until I
received my charger. I think I could have logged many new stations in that time interval.
Some time around the 23rd, local KUWS 91.3, a nearly 100,000 watt blowtorch some 9 miles
away from me, turned off their IBOC. They never turned it back on. Stations which were very
hard or impossible to get have now become regulars. Regular reception on 91.1 is KNOW
Minneapolis, MN (124 miles, MPR News's flagship station) to the south, WGGL Houghton, MI
(172 miles, a combination of MPR News and MPR Classical) to the e
ast, and KCCM Moorhead, MN (205 miles, MPR Classical) to the west; on 91.5 it consists of
CKPR Thunder Bay, ON (192 miles, a commercial sort of A/C station that announces their calls
between every song!) to the north, KCFB (121 miles, affiliate of the MCBI Christian network) to
the southwest, and a faint KQMN (219 miles, MPR Classical) to the northwest. Meanwhile, my
laptop charger arrived in the mail, and was exactly the same as the original – except it
generated a horrible, full-scale buzzing sound across the entire FM band!
The tropo on the evening of the 31st was remarkable, with almost the entire Omaha – Lincoln
and Sioux City dials booming in like locals. Beyond those cities, I also received numerous
stations from Kansas and Missouri, the farthest being KJCK Junction City, KS, which fought
with KNXR and an enigmatic station interviewing a Christian rock group (Newsom?) for at
least four hours, announcing themselves as “Power Hits 97.5” and matching their website's
schedule. I tried for the next hour, unsuccessfully, to log more distant stations, perhaps from
Wichita, but failed to do so. The next night brought excellent tropo too, with 55-watt WXPW
Wausau coming in with 2 out of 3 bars on the XDR-F1HD and Grand Rapids, MI stations also
being received.
The opening on August 4th started out as a near-repeat of the 31st, but soon spread east. The
Mountainlake APRS map showed at least two stations from my area reporting ducting from my
area to KY and even western NC, but no stations were to be found from near there.
I am currently up to 789 FM stations logged.

EARLY TELEVISION
MEXICO: TV activity, centering mainly around Mexico City with the capital's first station,
XHTVNOVEDADES, licensed to pubisher Romulo O'Farill's Television de Mexico, started
in September.
With a 5 kw. RCA transmitter located atop the National Lottery Building, the station covers
some 3,000,000 persons in the Mexico City area. XHTV has a three studio camera chain
plus a mobile unit, and operates from 5:00 to 7:00 p. m. on weekdays and from 4:00 to
7:00 p, m. on Sundays.
The second Mexico City station, XEW-TV, owned by broadcastershowman Emilio
Azcarraga, is due on the air in the near future. Stations will use a GE transmitter to service
a planned chain of large capacity TV theatres throughout the city so that video will be
immediately available to the general public. Mexico has set a ceiling of 10,000 TV sets to
be imported this year, though Azcarraga expects this quota to be raised to 60,000 in 1951.
Meanwhile, RCA has shipped some 400 non-synchronous 10-inch sets that can be
adjusted to work on the city's 50 cycle current.
Reports on a third station in the area, owned by inventor Gonzales Camarena, indicate
that it has been on the air experimentally for many months with live and film transmissions
both in black and white and color. Programs are said to originate at the National Stadium
with a score of sets installed in department stores and at the city fairgrounds. Color
system is alleged to be similar to that of CBS.
TV is also starting along the Mexican-U. S. border with the allocation of Channel 6 to the
Jorge I. Rivera enterprises for station XEAC-TV in Tijuana. Engineering is reportedly
completed for the transmitter whose signal is expected to cover 80 per cent of Southern
California. The station uses RCA equipment and plans call for a seven day a week
schedule, 6:00 p. m. to midnight, with 60 per cent of the time devoted to English
broadcasts.
Plans are also said to be underway for TV outlets at Matmoras (Channel 7) and Nuevo
Laredo, both owned by Compania Mexicano de Television headed by Texan Manuel Leal.
In addition, Azcarraga is reported to be planning to establish some half dozen border
stations in the next two years.
From Televisor November 1950
BRAZIL: TV station, RADIO TUPI (Channel 3), atop the Banco de Estado in Sao Paulo, is
about ready to start regular operations. Owned by Brazil's radio network, Emissoras
Associates which is headed by Dr. Assis Chateaubriand, the station employs the 525-line
system, using RCA equipment including a 5 kw. transmitter, studio facilities and a mobile
unit.
The second Brazilian station (also RADIO TUPI) is due to start soon in Rio de Janeiro with
a 5 kw. GE transmitter located atop Sugar Loaf Mountain. The station is intended to
service some 3,000 receivers, mostly in public places and GE has already shipped some
1,800 TV chassis (121/ inches and 19 inches) to Rio for the TV debut.
OTHER SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES: Argentina, Uruguay and several others are
talking TV interestedly but no definite plans are yet indicated. Colombia reportedly is
interested in receiving bids for U. S. station and receiver equipment and has already
received British and Dutch bids for a transmitter and 500 initial sets for Bogota.
OTHER LATIN AMERICAN DEVELOPMENTS: Perhaps the first international TV circuit
was organized last April as the PanAmerican Television Corporation headed by Mexico's
Azcarraga and Frank Fouce of Hollywood, and including showmen in Cuba, Brazil and
Argentina. The organization will handle all phases of production and televising, with
Hollywood and New York branches acting as buying agencies for programs. In addition to
purchasing U. S. telepix, to be dubbed in Spanish, the firm will produce its own TV films at
Azcarraga's Mexico City studios. The group also plans to show its kinescopes in the U. S.
and abroad.
There is also discussion of the formation of a Latin American TV film network to link
outlets in Mexico, Cuba and Puerto Rico and eventually the rest of South America. The
film network will feature news, special events, sports and documentaries produced in
Spanish and prepared as packaged programs.
