Hi Curtis,
Although not a book, you can download and then print the information

My heart bleeds for Joplin. I am originally from MO but most of my

an F4 in any room in my stick built house
Presently listed as a strong EF4 with 198 MPH winds. Just two down from
an EF5. Whatever the strength, its path into a densely populated area
makes it all the more tragic.

First this from Hark Heller @1590 WGBW in Two Rivers, WI:
Hey Rick;
WJTB-OH 1040 as been guilty of this, in the past. The only Cleveland
area DX'er that I know of is Michael Procop and he verified that they
were the guilty party, the last time which was last year, IIRC. I will
try to listen for it tonight.

I read in Blair Thompson's Indiana Radio Watch that Brazil, Indiana's
1130, WSDX will go silent. According to Wikipedia, it already is. It
was a 500 watt (daytime) station with just 20 watts authorized at night.

To be perfectly honest, it could be a chance for a DX'er (who has the
time (who has the time? Not me, LOL)) to explain DX'ing and propagation
to CKWX. It could be an olive branch to the station from DX'ers, to set
them straight and get a plug for MW DX'ing. Maybe a DX Test? :)
Any volunteers?

Great news! If it happens, it will be wonderful. I have a local on
1590 (Beech Grove) but I can null them and the best open direction is
NW/SE, so it could make it! I know times are tough for stations but
with a possible test so early in the year, it sounds encouraging for
tests for the
KAZ, I was LMAO, as well. Almost as funny as 25+ years ago when the PD
(!) from a Dallas FM station sent us listeners (DX'ers and non-DX'ers
alike, who stumbled across their station via sporadic E prop) a note
that stated that we heard them because Dallas had 22 straight 100 degree
(F) days. The
I poked around a bit on Saturday morning with the barefoot Eton e-100.
Only station of note was new to the main and ULR logs. It was on 1570
and mentioned Alton, North Alton, 618 area codes and lots of Riverbend
mentions, so it was WBGZ Alton, IL! #4 on 1570 for the Illini state.
Ironically I
squared is 0.00258. 0.00258 X 25000 =64.596.
Thanks again and 73,

Thanks for the info on WHLN, Bill. They seem to be what I would call a
regular on 1410 but it might be a coinky-dink. If I hear music
instead of talk, I get excited but I forget that it could be WHLN. :)
I don't tune around every night but at least for this past week, I have
caught them 2 of
Grabbed a new ULR log last night (relog to the main). WNFL 1440 Green
Bay. Great calls (of course) for a great football town. Also have been
hearing WHLN Harlan, KY almost every night on 1410. Potent signal for
41 watts (okay, sarcasm off ;) ). Anyone else hearing this one, at
night?
1440
Ah, 690. If I could only bribe the WLW CE to shut down its IBOC (maybe
with some Skyline chili or maybe a case of Hudepohl beer?)

One of the more upscale Goodwill's that I shop had two or three at one
time, for five dollars each. All had a cassette player in them. Might
have been neat to experiment with.

WZYX is a frequent Friday Night Lights HSFB powerhouse. In fact, they
verified one of my receptions back in the 80's with a we only use 66
watts at night, line. Okay. Guess that was a CYA kind of thing - but
Cowan was a new station for me, at the time. :) Sorry no one else got
in on WJJL.
Barry McLarnon and I must have had some telepathy, Friday night. We
heard the same thing on 790! But that revealed a fatal flaw in my
tenuous at best log keeping. I know that I have logged both Atlanta
and Brunswick, GA on 790 but neither is in my logbooks, either main nor
ULR. That is odd and
