Re: [HCDX] AFRTS

I am going to have to go with you on this one, Walt. My QSL from Wayne
Eternicka states 12689.5 from Key West and 6458.5 from Roosevelt roads, PR.
No mention of 4278.5, which, I believe also from Key West. The 6350 kHz
almost HAS to originate from the Pacific; given the signal strength here. It
is BY FAR the most powerful signal I have heard so far from AFN the last two
mornings; EVER! We'll see!
