According to the secretary at KAZP, the call letters have not been
changed. They are still KAZP, but will be changed soon. She didn't say
when or to what. The recent call letters I feel the only answer is, our
ears are playing tricks on us. The call letters are given so fast it is
hard to tell.
Think about it. K-A-Z-P v/s KGBW. The KAZP and the "K-G" can sound
alike and Bellevue and "B-W" could sound alike too. This is the latest

COMMENTS
Wayne McRae and I made our way to our DX site and..
The first DX'pedition of the season and the last one for this century
is now come and gone. We managed to drive across the farm field for the
first time in 6 years it was so dry. The usually walk of 1200 feet
dragging toboggans of equipment was not had this time. Thought we had it
made until we got to the door of the bus. We have converted an old
school bus to a DX listening post. The lock was broken and when we
opened the door it was obvious that someone had been there. We leave no
radio equipment behind but do leave the wire sleeping bags lanterns
heaters dishes etc. Every box had been gone through. The place took an
hour to clean up. Only thing missing were half the stuff from the First
aid kit Flash lights and a big knife. My sleeping bag had been used (it
is going to the cleaners) as was the wood stove but no other damage. I
suppose all considered we got off lucky as no real damage done. We took
home the lanterns sleeping bags heats etc so if the return they will
have nothing to use. This is the first time in 10 years we ever had a
problem so I guess we were due.
After cleaning up we put our some wires and settled into DX'ing. As
you see some good stuff heard especially the 531 Faroe Islands station
and 610 CHTM. Never though we would hear this one as it often fades out
25 or 30 miles out of Thompson on some days.
Hope the season continues to be good... will go out again after
Christmas and put on new lock on the bus. Such is the life of a DX'er in
the Great White North.
