Tests
Notes: Oakhurst is located in Central California near the Yosemite
National Park. Past DX tests have resulted in reports from most of the
Western US.
Note too the use of television theme songs as
program material. Hopefully these
will be easier to pull out of the noise. An example
might be the theme from the
Addams Family, etc.
