Welcome t o our Club, l ad ies and gentlemen, we hope t o be reading of your DX'ing act ivi t ies often h e r e in DX NEWS. Why not send a note into Musings and introduce yourselves t o the membersh ip?

A VERY SPECIAL TEST BROADCAST FOR THE NRC. .. Long-time NRC m e m b e r Dave Gleason, now P r o g r a m Direc tor for WERC in Birmingham, will conduct two t e s t s for the NRC. They' l l b e a i r e d on January 29 and February 5th and will l a s t two h o u r s f r o m 0300-0500 EST. A selection of adult contemporary vocal m u s i c will be presented and s e v e r a l collect ca l l s will be accepted. A pr ize of $20 will b e given to the mos t distant l i s tener during the tes t ! WERC opera tes on 960 kHz and will b e running 5 kw into a two-tower d i rec t - ional antenna protect ing KMA and WFIR. Address r e p o r t s t o Box 10904, Bi rming- ham, Ala.. 35202, in c a r e of Dave. According t o the Pa t te rn Book this wil l be a r e a l roughie along the E a s t e r n seaboard but should s t i l l get out over a wide area.

SCHEDULE FOR DX NEWS,. . We now resume weekly publication of DX NEWS and will continue on a weekly schedule until the middle of spring. We a r e making a slight adjustment in the t iming of DX NEWS production, necess i ta ted by the fact that Page Taylor can only work on IDXD on Sunday. We will complete composition of DX NEWS when Page 's section a r r i v e s on Tuesday o r Wednesday; copy goes to the pr inter the same day. Th i s means the other edi tors have a n additional day to get copy to HQ each week. Edi tors should continue to m a i l sections to HQ via Special Delivery.

MECHANICAL FILTERS, FINALLY !

Kokusai h a s modified the distribution procedure for the i r excellent minia ture mechanical f i l t e r s (descr ibed a t length in past a r t i c l e s in DX NEWS) and we will now be able to obtain them direct ly f r o m a state-side representa t ive without having to go through a l l of the delay and red-tape we've experienced in the past when we've dealt d i rect ly with Japan. The p r i ce i s even lower th i s way, too! HQ i s now purchasing a batch of these excellent 2.1 kHz units ( for r ece ive r s with 455 kHz I F frequency only) fo r r e s a l e a t cost to the membership. P r i c e i s $15. 00 pe r fi l ter, p lease specify if fo r vacuum tube o r t r ans i s to r receiver. The f i r s t batch will probably be a t HQ by the t i m e you read this; we will f i l l o r d e r s the same day they a r e received.

REPORT FORMS AND STATIONERY, TOO.

Reception repor t f o r m s a r e now available to NRC members ; m o r e deta i ls will be found e lsewhere th i s issue. We a l s o now have stationery in stock; two color printing with the NRC emblem. P r i c e i s $2.35 for 100 sheets, postpaid.

DAYTIME DX INFO REQUESTED.. . As we'd hoped, our r ecen t a r t i c l e s on the l imi ts of midday DX have s t i r r e d up some interes t in th i s interesting but neglected area . P ro fesso r Ray Bell of the Physics Department a t Penn State h a s sent along a copy of a technical paper he'd published in 1937 in which he'd measured daytime signal strengths in an attempt to verify the groundwave equations. He naturally observed midday skywaves but apparently none fu r the r away than expected on the basis of the mechanisms desc r ib - ed in GPN's r ecen t article. He's checking h i s old r ecords fur ther for useful data. Bengt Er i c son in Sweden has checked midday reception t h e r e and a repor t will appear soon. We would like to a s k our membersh ip - especially the old- t imers who listened in t h e good old days before the R F pollution real ly hi t - to check the i r logs fo r long distance midday receptions. Remember , by midday we mean the period f r o m 10:OO AM through 2:00 PM local t ime a t the midpoint of the signal path. P lease send whatever data you can find to GPN a t HQ and he'll include i t in a future ar t ic le .

NEW MEMBER KITS.. . The l a s t remaining problem f r o m the f i r e which destroyed much of HQ lasr yaaz i s New Member Kits; the stocks on hand were los t and we've been slow in replacing them due to the p r e s s u r e of publication workload, production of the Pa t t e rn Book and Domestic Log, etc. We're sti l l working on NMK's - the recent abbreviation l i s t appearing h e r e in DXN i s pa r t of that effort. Any typing volunteers with carbon ribbon typewri ters willing to help u s out? *GPN, BGK, CDP

CFRB's claims exaggeration, engineer says . Wil k The Globe end Mail

MISSISSAUGA - A sugges- tion that development In MI> sissauga nil1 put radio station CFRB out of bu-iness is ;In exaggeration. town council's general committee was told yesterday.

George Mather. a consulting engineer hired by thctown to investigate Lhe claim, said the radio station's concern that proposed hlgh-nse develop mrnt in the Clarkson area

ple: CFRB Ltd. ma). in the not too distant luture. be re- quired to reduce or even eli- minate entirely the radio sig- nal lrom i b transmitker In t ' w town of hlississauga. In other words. CFRB may be forced out of business. tll? CFRB brief says.

..The reason for this I to Usl ominous Statement is the threat to our signal patlcrn caused by the proposed con- struction of tall bu~idings in

~.. could put them out of business b e c a u s e o f i n t e r f e r e n c e around its Mississauga trans- mitting station was valid."

I A report by Clire Eastwood. I

a professional englneer corn- ' mission* by CFRB says ':the / colutructlon of tall bulldlngs / in CFRB's strong-field area could result in a revocation of ! the station's licence."

The t om ' s Lakeshore Com- munity Study proposes mas- slve revdentla1 development which would increase the pop- ulation of the Ciarkson-Lome Park area l o 10 times the present 6,500. The F R B brief to council says ttus would be detrimental to its 0peratiOnS. l t as& that buildings pro- posed near the transmitter be , limited to 30 feet in h e i ~ h t : and that others proposed for Lakeshore Road, about two miles east of the transmitter site, be kept to a height of 35 feet.

"The problem is quite sim-

no other sites xhere it could suitab! its transmitters.

The radio station is re- quired by tile Departmenel Communications to restr:ct Its s~gnal radiated in certain directions In order to protect thc signals of other stations.

The rcport says that be- cause of international. agree- ments, the directionalpattern -.--

used by CFRB a t night is vety critical.

"The partion of ' this signal that is re-radiated in the p r h tected directiolls is the rob lern since the s ca t t e r ez s i i 11al 'would cause CFRB to vio- late its commitments under I t - ~ ~

cence.' According to Mather, how-

ever, a report on which CFRB reached its conclusion On re- . radiation is not valid in t h k argument.

I t was my pleasure to monitor t ransmiss ions f r o m your station during the above period. As proof of reception I offer this log of i tems heard:

This i s the new NRC domestic report fo rm - caretully designed by J e r r y S t a r r of the NRC CPC and NRC HQ to produce the optimum domestic returns: shor t enough to keep the station personnel interested without becoming bored yet long enough to constitute a meaningful report . These repor t forms a r e printed on heavy bond paper by da rk and clear offset printing. If you can't take the t ime to send a personal le t te r , do the next bes t thing - send an NRC domestic repor t form! Available immediately f rom NRC HQ for $1.50 for 75 sheets ( so priced to minimize

On the basis of the above details , I wish to request a brief le t te r confirming the fac t that I have received your station's signals. I collect these l e t t e r s a s a hobby and would be most pleased to add your confirmation to my collection. Fo r your convenience in replying I have enclosed re turn postage.
