Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Getting to the bottom of 1710 - OT Chuckle

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

LOL John!:)

I wanted to be a broadcaster as long as I can remember that I have a memory.
Something about it intrigues me, partly how the signal gets from the station
to the listener.. but I love entertaining others while playing music.

For what it's worth, I started DXing early in life too. it was probbaly...
7th grade or so when, from Connecticut.. I first logged KDKA 1020
Pittsburgh, PA and shortly thereafter, 1190 WOWO Fort Wayne, IN.. for a kid
who knew nothing about AM Radio at the time, that was COOL!
