Re: [IRCA] USA 1670kHz (Questions)

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm confused.

Am I to understand that WD2XXM is back on the air currently? I listened 
several times
during the day yesterday but heard not a peep. Of course, my DXing equipment 
is
all in boxes after the move. Reduced to using the car radio, and a DX-398 
with
RS loop until I can unpack.

I'd love to log this one. Can someone on the East Coast verify that it's on 
the
air today? Or even better post a clip?
