You don't even have to go to all of that trouble. You can get logo info off the
websites often. I have done that in the past.

San Fran on 740. Stayed glued to Zoomer Radio's Big Band Sunday Night after

The frequency wobbling originates at the Cuban stations.
It would seem to be intentional rather than just being a result of

What seemed like a pretty mediocre session for Asians this morning improved
somewhat with a late rally by several low-band Korean and Chinese stations,
finally bringing the overall results up to something like low average. The band

There is no substitute for opening an envelope and seeing a nice new QSL card
or verification letter. The QSL cards made for KRSN 1490 look terrific. I'm
happy to have one in my collection. Many thanks to the Mr. Westfall and the
staff at KRSN for the bumper stickers etc...that they sent to
The wobbler was so loud on 650 kHz last night that I almost posted about it in
honor of W Curt Deegan of Boca Rotan Fla, who passed away a few years ago. He
had a website for it that seems to have been taken down. It was by far the
loudest thing on 650, with a Cuban very low in the mud along

Last Halloween's SSS was the best I've ever experienced here and Halloween was
lots better than the few days preceeding it, although those were decent like

Good job with Disney. Most clearly they don't seem to get out nearly as well as
other west coast X-banders.
So
KCBS doesn't have a favorable day or night pattern to the west and is very rare
hear. I'd not think that an all new station would be touting their hourly news
unless close to the hour.
There are certainly better candidates for CA SSS catches in Omaha using a loop.
I'd suggest KFIA 710 which

Hi
The amazing thing about time, is that as each month goes past, that's

I'm not sure what source you use for TIS calls, but FCC lists a different call
for Strongsville.
The woman is a different station and there's a highway mention. I can't make

can listen to it with both ears. I'd
Is CFAC the only station on 960 with this ID? I haerd it very clearly, but
no station call letters at 0250 UTC in Springfield Ma. I think it might be
possible because I also got WNMT from Northern Minnesota this evening. Jim

Had CFAC a few days ago, it gets out well. Not sure if there's other sports
stations using that slogan, though. My ID was determined by local Calgary

Yep, very mediocre at my QTH as well at 13:55 UTC. The only Russian heard
was 279, and only at fair level. Otherwise 3 or 4 of the more powerful
usual stations as above, and not much else. Seems like Colin always picks
the mornings that are real duds to DX ;-)Walt.

I would need to look but I bet at least half of my QSLs in the past 9 years
are prepared cards. A few professionally printed cards but several homemade

plain paper and some of them have station logos added.
