A very descriptive report Mike, I enjoyed it very much. Always
interested in KWXY-1340 as it is/was one of the very few California
stations I've never heard. 4-5 years ago I only needed 12 from
California, much more now. I used to just rest on 1340 hoping for some
easy listening music to pop up but alas not to be. The Hemet 1320
station was another I never heard from that area, but they were daytime
and directional to boot.

I remember back in 2004 when Pat Martin, Bob Wien, and I did a Palm Springs
restaurant and radio station run...The art-deco studio for KWXY (Cathedral
city) was one of the nicest that I've seen, with the tower right on site as
well. 'Seems right around that time KWXY 1340 was switching over to different
call sign. 'Glad they are back where they belong. It takes a bit of trying and
some just-right CX to hear the desert area graveyarders (1340, 1400, and 1450)
here in the L.A. area. I verified KWXY am back in 1991. I assume that they are
still DXer friendly....Heck, maybe Palm Springs would be perfect for a radio
club convention someday, hi. The station on 1490 in Banning (KMET these days)
is MUCH easier to hear at the home qth. Sometimes even the more regional
channels (920, 1140, etc...) F'get about it.....Back around 1992, then KDES 920
did a DX test and it got out well. Fun town to go picture taking!!! 73 Mike
