I swapped a few e-mails with Paul a couple of years ago. Since the
early 80s he's been general manager of a Country FM station in a small
town near Tucson Bruce The Kaskey Family wrote: Good Heavens and/or Grief! Paul Lotsof!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't heard that name in many a year. Last I heard he was in Benson AZ, so he must have struck Gold or something down there. don k.

Latest additions include tests from Nevada and Maine, both prime targets for DX'ers. For those who collect QSL's we've also got updated news on QSL's from the WVNN/WUMP Test. And in the next few days, we should have the details worked out on a test from KEVT, 1030khz in Cortaro, Arizona. They'll be doing a full power maintenance test on February 6th....this test is being arranged by IRCA member Paul Lotsof in conjunction with engineer Frank Luna.
