Re: [IRCA] AM DX from central Alaska

[Patrick Martin <mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the report Paul. Some of it reminds me of what I regularly heard in Seward in the 60s. I have not heard the calls KLAM mentioned anywhere in years. Back in the 60s they were a regular in Seward daily. They operated on from 7:30-9:30 AM and again 5-10 PM. I QSL'd KSDP back a few years when they were operating on generator. I even phoned the station & the owner at home. They were 250w at the time. I got a nice QSL too.
