25 YEARS AGO
December 18, 1971 issue of IRCA's "DX Monitor" ... SN Gary D. DeBock of Key
West, FL said he was in Navy sonar school. He mentioned the Cuban stations
were so bad that everything else sounded foreign ... John Zondlo of Munci,
IN said he was in Indianapolis over Thanksgiving working with
underprivileged kids ... Credo A. Bisquera of Waianae, HI logged WWL-870
with KAIM off.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. 73, John.

KGVW.." by a man, then into an ad cluster. Bits of
Religious music in and out. Up until the scheduled test
start time, during which time nothing was heard. I
wonder if they messed up the time when they were
supposed to go to high power. (congrats on the logging

engineer (how terrible-ed) complained about the lack of
callers (woman gave 591-9355 as phone #) I tuned out as

SPECIAL INTEREST
Karl Zuk writes about 3 CT stations running their own news net. All owned by
Commodore Media, they all run the same newscasts and cross promote the
group's coverage area. A money saver and a cute gimmick. (Look for more of
this kind of thing. With the new ownership rules alot of these AMs are
going to "group" together and run simo.-ed) The stations on the new net are:
WSTC 1400 in Stamford, CT, WNLK 1350 in Norwalk, CT and WLAD 940in
Brookfield-Danbury, CT.

DXing at Ocean City State Park, WA, with Chuck Hutton, 1400' WSW Beverage,
500' NW Beverage, Drake R8A, Icom R-71
Latin America
530 TURKS & CAICOS, RVCI Loud w/discussion pgm in SS 0235 11/17(bp/ch WA)
535 GRENADA (assumed) with a weak carrier that never produced any audio,
0237 11/17. (bp/ch)
555 ST. KITTS (assumed) ZIZ with weak carrier 0238 11/17. (bp/ch)
595 UNID weak carrier, possibly Dominica 0240 11/17 (bp/ch WA)
1000 UNID, SS talk mixing w/KOMO 0235 & 0313 11/17, sounded like all-news
format, XEOY? (bp/ch WA)
Pan America
1205 CAYMAN ISLANDS Georgetown very, very poor 0342 11/17. (bp/ch)
Not sure (Trans-Atlantic or Pacific?)
1008 UNID and puzzling. This carrier showed up at 0425 11/17 which was just
after the Hawaiians made their first pitiful appearances of the
night. NOTHING else was in yet - no Pacific island stations or early
- arriving Japanese megasignals. The only TP area in darkness was the
very northeastern tip of Russia north of the Kamchatka peninsula.
Petropavlovsk (middle of the Kamchatka peninsula) has a local sunset
of about 0500 and was not heard later, but this weak carrier coud
have easily been buried under Osaka. Everything else (Japan and
Khabarovsk) had a much later sunset of 0750 GMT and 0720 GMT
respectively. There wasn't a single TA carrier which would discount
the sudden appearance of Holland. There also wasn't so much as one
carrier yet from any of the Japanese powerhouses. Tantalizing for
sure. (bp/ch)
1575 UNID and puzzling just like 1008 about 0425 GMT 11/17. This time the
earliest fade-in would theoretically be the Russian in
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (just a few hundred miles directly north of Japan
with a sunset of about 0655), New Zealand (sunset about 0750), or
the Japanese FEN station in Misawa (sunset also about 0750 GMT). I
don't believe either of these was the tantalizer. (bp/ch)
