Just to jump in here on this walk down memory lane - one of my regulars from early DX from Indiana was KCA999 the New Hampshire State Police in Concord. They transmitted on 1682 kHz in AM mode. And thankfully I have a QSL from them dated 1968. Yes indeed, the good old days.

What would be the earliest time to hear a station from NZ or Australia? Checking my 80's log book my DU receptions were around 1100-1200 ut. I think that was because work started at 5:00 AM and I would DX before going to work. The months of reception were late Sept. to March of 1980. Do you remember the LAPD transmitting in the now X-band? I know people from the SF Bay Area that would listen to them regularly in the evening hours.
