I think you should have a pretty good shot at the Japanese there Paul, as long as you don't mind getting up a bit before local dawn.

Hi Paul,
Your dial sounds a bit like the stuff I used to hear pretty regular
when I lived in Seward in the 60s.
It has been years since I have even heard KLAM mentioned. They were a
regular in Seward. In those days the station operated from 7:30-9:30
AM and again from 5-10 PM. I QSL's KSDP quite a few years ago here. I
even phoned the station and also the own at home. An interesting
station.
