Don,
Curtis lives way across town from me, in the southwest corner near the
Medical Facility with all those metal wires strung out in straight
lines... he must have better reception as a result. :-)
Let me know if you can hear the Travis AFB station on 890. During the
day it should be possible, especially if you hear the TIS on 790 from
Pittsburg.

Who is it?
Im not sure it's KDXU St George-Cedar City0, as their schedule
suggests Dr
Laura and it didn't sound like that's what my friend ehard.
Any ideas?
----Paul,
I've read Tim's & Dennis' comments so I'll add my own. I drive the
Sacto-S.F. corridor often over the last 50 years. Vacaville is right
in the middle and an interesting dx location, just ask Rich Toebe or
Curtis McMinnaman (forever renowned for hearing every dx test that
used tone, sweeps or morse code-in the last 15 years). At any rate
at quarter of 6 in the evening in early November what your friend
heard (99.44% sure) is KLFF Arroyo Grande. They have a good signal
here in S.F. even when KDXU is powering in. No chance for Homer AK
at that hour.
By the way Paul, I'm very disappointed that you apparently don't read
many of my infrequent posts. I recently mis-identified the Las Vegas
station as WMZQ instead of KMZQ and YOU didn't immediately point it
out as you are wont to do with anyone posting an indiscretion, no
matter how small.
