Re: [IRCA] 1020 Rel

[Michael Hawkins <downsized99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doug,
   
  The Grundig S350 is good at frustrating me on a regular basis.  KLIV/1590 beams right at me, so I get it in the background on 1135, 1520, 1530, 1560 and 1690.  KLOK/1170 is on 1140, 1150, 1190.  KZSJ/1370 is on 1350.  KSJX/1500 hoses 590, and birdies abound everywhere, not to mention the frequency instability of the radio so it starts making noise after you settled it down.  If it wasn't so good at a directional beam, I would have stopped using it.  Today, I changed batteries in it.  The old ones weren't dead yet but I've had them in there for about 9 months, and I run it 3-5 hours daily on batteries.  It'll run forever on a set.
   
  Mike

  Mike,
Doesn't it irk you though after you've listened to an unID for a long time- 
sometimes all night, only to find out it's a weak spur or something from a 
local or something else ridiculous, hi. Your right though. Hey, I used to 
have KTNN on one of my presets in my car... before my 660 semi-local came on 
the air then turned SS.

Paul, yes indeed, you are correct. I couldn't understand his name when he 
said it, but I copied the address just fine. Of course "KCKN" came in clear 
as a gong!
73- Doug
