Hi Todd,Good to hear from you, been reading your entries on the IRCA net and enjoying them. My dx memory is leaking a bit, when I checked my old logs I found I had heard 7 from Hawaii while living in Galva.....550-KMVI, 590-KGMB, 630-KPOA, 690-KULA,760-KGU, 850-KILA & yes, 1380-KHON.......I added quite a few from California in the 50s, 60s & 70s but not much since. I am currently not dxing as we are in the process of changing the locale for my radio & antennae (very slowly) to a better spot, hopefully away from some of my horrendous QRM. Also, I'm recovering from another knee replacement..7 weeks along the way so the worst (of the rehab) is out of the way. Thank goodness, I only have 2 knees LOL.....Keep up the fine dxing.

I also logged KFQD from Syracuse back when they were on 730 before moving to 750. Back then one could actually expect to hear MT and ND from the EC as well. I remember the KYMN-1520-OR DX test which I also heard in Syracuse. And KFBK made it a few times.

There were a bunch of freq changes back in the 60s & 70s, when some of the old stations moved to clear channels and boosted to 50KW. Wasn't KTWO on 1410? Without checking, I seem to have them QSL'd on aregional.73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
