------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

880  WPIP NC  Winston-Salem  -  4/20 0700  -  Briefly clear with "This is Conservative Christian Radio WPIP ... ", then covered by WRFD power-up.


1250  WKDL  VA  Warrenton  -  7/28 0400  -  Good with "We're listener-supported Praise Radio WPRZ-FM 88.1 Brandy Station-Culpeper, WKDL 1250 AM Warrenton-Manassas.  And around the world at wprz.org."  


1620  CM--  Cuba  Guantanamo  -  10/2 0200  -  Guanabacoa and Guantanamo transmitters about two seconds out of synch, creating nice echo effect.  Usual "Rebelde, La Habana!" top-of-the-hour ID.  


1240  WHIZ  OH  Zanesville  -  11/3 0500  -  "WHIZ - Zanesville!" readable in local WIFA null.  Been chasing this one for 40 years.


1200  WNBL  WV  Huntington  -  12/1 1700  - Good with "You're listening to your Better Life station, WNBL Huntington, West Virginia" between MoR selections.  Now here from 1470.  1200 #25.


580  WTCM  MI  Traverse City  -  12/16 1700  -  Atop and a big surprise with Grand Traverse Mall ad, "This is Newstalk 580, WTCM Traverse City, 50,000 watts of news, weather and information 24 hours a day!", and ABC news.  580 #25.


Well, eleven newies in 2010, same as in '09.   3,196 in the log now, no call changes.  Log hit the big 4-0 last April 19.  

No complaints, but I'd sure enjoy hearing a DX test again!  Nothing since WHYL-960 and WSAR-1480 two winters ago.  Eagerly awaiting the three next month.
