Didn't hurt to try Paul, and thanks for your dedication to the
hobby. Business must be good for them to be unpleasant about it,
particularly to someone in the business.
Next kick at the can, I wonder what a 30 second spot costs at 2am on
a non-brokered station, particularly for a non-profit? A quickie
IRCA information ad with Morse IDs? I sympathize with they
sentiment that one shouldn't have to pay for a DX test, but it
shouldn't come as news that stations don't owe DXers anything, and
maybe some of us geezers (not Paul, I know) have a dime or two left
at the end of the month.
best wishes,

I approached an WLYN 1360 & WAZN 1470 about a conducting a "DX Test" for us
DX'ers. They are a brokered/paid programming station so I was going to be
happy if I got 60 seconds of morse code at at the top of the hour at 2am in
the morning on this Metro Boston, MA area rimshot
The GM said no, so I did something I've never ever ever done before... I
offered to buy, out of my own pocket, 15 minutes of time on a one time
only deal at 1 or 2 in the morning....
The station still said no.. and wasn't terribly pleasant about it.
