Re: [IRCA] Some Lunchtime DX

"I remember the old WKIK "KIXX Country" calls that used to be on 730
AM out of Alexandria VA back when I lived in the DC area in the early
1980s."

I just remember them (730) as WPIK in the 1960s and 1970s.  I grew up
in the Hayfield Farms area very near their transmitter site.  I
remember their old "WPIK-WXRA" jingles (simulcast with 105.5 FM if I
remember correctly)...

73, Tim

I have picked up a few new stations, as the Select-A-Tenna does help bring in the stations that otherwise wouldn't show up when you aren't using an external antenna.  Plus, it gave me a chance to pick up some of those local daytimers that I am missing from my log.
