Now that I am nearly settled into the new house here in Barrington and the old dump is soon torn down, I really want to get a DX website up and get some of my tapes digitized. From the superb cx of fall 2005 I have a superb tape of KBRT's s/off well atop with CHWO phased out. Yep...I they'd get killed in the LA area at night by KCBS. Also..KBRT is 20 Khz from KFMB ..is that enough to make KFMB power down daytimes ? 73 KAZ Barrington IL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Fybush" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2007 1:13 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] AM station causes fire on Catalina Island > PLEASE read the [IRCA] mailing list guidelines at > http://www.ircaonline.org/guidelines.htm > > Patrick Martin wrote: > >> Then KBRT would not be blamed for it.
