Re: [IRCA] KXTO-1550 Test?

Les,

Thanks for checking in concerning KXTO.  Sorry, I'm not using any recording devices at present.  Used to, some 30 years ago, but haven't for some time.  I've been trying for KXTO each morning
this month during the 0030-0045 PDT time slot but 7/1 was the only time I've heard anything resembling a test.  KYCYs choice of music during that period is full of 'new age rock' or whatever
which is hard to penetrate.  I'll keep trying.
