Re: [IRCA] Sunset DX during June

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

Thanks for the recap of your catch of KMCD-1570-Fairfield IA.  Nice 
catch indeed from the east coast.  It also pointed out another senior 
moment I had while typing these logs.  Yes, I heard KMCD on 1570 not 
1580.  KWNT Davenport was on 1580.  I believe KMCD eventually went off 
the air permanently didn't they?  Fairfield is a town/village of 4-8 
thousand people.   Tough on not getting a QSL.

Don
