Re: [IRCA] Nearest locals

[Dennis Vroom <vroomski@xxxxxxxxx>]

I listen to day timer KNBA 1190 and the horse race recreations with Bill Terry from
Dee O'Connor Publications in the 60's and early 70's.  KNBA would end their
sign-off announcement with stay tune for KEX Portland.  KEX would boom in the
SF Bay Area.  A clever way to keep your local listener tuned to your frequency when
they turned their radio on the next day.

I feel your pain Mike. I'm north of you In Vallejo and I get hammered with RF. I don't even Bother DXing from home anymore. 

2 locals KDIA and KDYA on the old KNBA tower ( first radio gig ) about a mile away. 

2 FM KUIC and KZCT  (7watts) wow.
