Re: [IRCA] September 11 2016 PART Three (of 3) - West Coast TP's

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

No TP DXing for me last night/this morning, enjoyed a booming Radio Rossie
9895khz, Vocie of Vietnam 12019jhz and a few others.

I can only stay up so late like this on weekends, so I have to pick and
choose what to hear.. especially when its already in the mid 30s to upper
30s at night
