Hi Nick, A logging of 531 PI later on made it worthwhile (hi Gary...) That's OK, Nick. The memory of that Samoan-language pest on the Cliffs is still fresh enough that I don't feel any envy. Of course, come January or February, it may be a completely different situation. 73, Gary

After all Gary, my signal was a lot weaker than yours, even though I was using a bigger antenna and receiver. Of course, I wasn't facing down 18 wheelers, unless there was something very odd indeed in my morning tea... best wishes, Nick At 06:31 06-09-13, you wrote: Hi Nick, A

I guess the Death of am radio actually means the end of the golden age of radio and not the actual signing off and going silent of all the stations currently on the air. Nothing lasts forever - good or bad. Who knows what the future of the AM band will be! Jim Message: 2 Date: Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Thank you very much, Mike! Here are a few numbers that were staring me in the face while contemplating ever logging Vermont: there are only 18 AM stations currently licensed in the state. Of these, two (WRSA 1420 and WFAD 1490) are currently silent. Of the 16 on air, eight are graveyarders,

Hello All, It was another lackluster session here this morning as only a few Asian big guns managed to show up with any audio-- and even they had a serious case of anemia. 828-JOBB (poor), 972-HLCA (fair), the 1053-Jammer (fair) and 1575-VOA (poor) were the mediocre survivors of a pretty
