HI John: Yes the end of next month is the final trip to Southern Oklahoma. The wife is finally pulling the plug on her job as I did sometime back. We have a house under construction in the hills surrounded by trees and wildlife. It will be close to my parents, who need help and our daughter in Dallas. I will have a fairly good station location, but 2 ft. underground is bedrock which will not help in digging a 4' hole for the tower.
The station you heard is KTWO which is, I think, a 50 KW station here. Sort of a funny mix of programming from Rush Limbaugh to country/western music some of the time. They have really poor propagation for the power and I suspect their ground system is crap now. It is an old station and has probably suffered from poor upkeep. Glad to hear you are getting back to the Continental. I will be changing my email address when I move, but will post it when I have a new one. All our furniture and most everything else is already there and will just transport some things that I felt best to not take and store. The bad thing is that I will be relegated to a dial up connection. Sure is bad for big file downloads. Good to hear from you. 73 Jim de W5JO ----- Original Message ----- From: "John T. M.
