On a Monday morning in January of 1973, a DX test was scheduled from
WSBS-860 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts from 1:30 to 2:00 EST.
I listened until 1:40 or so, didn't hear it, and left, planning to return a
few minutes before the end of the test. Today, of course, I'd spend the
whole half-hour parked on 860, but in those days you were reluctant to
spend too much time on one frequency on a Monday morning, for fear you'd miss
stuff happening elsewhere on the dial.
I returned to 860 around 1:55, and at 2:00, was treated to a sign-off from
KTRB, including a mention of returning tomorrow morning at 5:30. I think
XEMO in Tijuana was about the only interference. Never heard KTRB again,
and still need WSBS.
One of my best catches ever (only a kilowatt at night back then) - sorry to
see it fade into history.
