My getting ready for work morning routine usually involves leaving my ICF-2010 on in the background on 1450. With semi-local CHUC-Cobourg gone, I'm hoping to hear something aside from WMAJ (State College), WYNY (Rome) or WPSE (Erie). This morning, I heard two 1070-WINA IDs at approximately 5:50

Hi Paul I was only referring to the YL (Young Lady) voice. It would be interesting to know if she really is saying It's 4 am since that would narrow it down quite a lot. It's all very frustrating, hi! Paul Paul B. Walker, Jr. wrote: The only station on 1510 I can find with a YL is XEYL
