Re: [IRCA] Weekend Update - WPBS 1040 ID'd FINALLY!

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bert - I was 100% sure it was them too - and I have counted
stations upon hearing less but I just *had* to hear the ID.  :)  That is
the only EE that I have heard, other than a snippet of a Beatles song.
Again they just shut down the 1040 transmitter in mid sentence at
signoff - I think because they are broadcasting 24/7 on two other,
waeker stations.

I'm glad you got it. I figured that is what you were hearing up there.
