[HCDX] RE: [AMFMTVDX] 555khz St Kitts logged in WI !

Congratulations, John! ZIZ is easy pickins' here on eastern Long Island, but
it's got to be tough so far inland. Glad your efforts finally paid off. From
here, I can here them just about any night, although I can listen to them
for
hours and hours without hearing an ID. Way to go, John
