Re: [IRCA] DX Test Help Wanted

Bill and Russ,
Thanks, I'll keep your info. on hand.   Obviously, Portland has most of the 
states' biggies.  The frequencies I listed before don't have huge metro 
audiences with maybe the exception of CCC owned 1120 KPNW-Eugene.  I figured 
I'd have a better shot at those stations. Cooperation is the key however.  I 
wish my locals put out more power than 1kw because I think I'd have a better 
chance of persuading them...
73- Doug

Patrick, thanks for the additional info on the KBPS location.  I kinda know 
where the Lloyd center (mall) is... I should ask my wife and daughter, hi 
hi. shop shop shop shop shop and shop!

*** 1120 could be a problem with KMOX, and 1190 with both WOWO and
WLIB. Generally though I agree with Bill that absent one with a day
pattern directed toward us, an ND daytime pattern would be best.
