Re: [IRCA] 850 KICY Nome AK

Don,
OK, that doe's it. I'm giving up... hi.  Better yet, I'm throwing away my 
Drake and looking for a Plata portable!!

Look at what you've heard... that's amazing! North Pole too?!

I wouldn't mind hearing KFAR or KFQD next. Gotta git rid of the closer 
stations on those freqs. first though. I've been on 850 the last week or so 
and today is the first day I've heard anything else besides KOA and 
KHHO-sports. KICY has been improving this evening though, or is it that KOA 
has been diminishing?hi.
73- Doug
