Re: [IRCA] KAZ Antenna Query and two TA Unids

[Dave Pyatt <pyattd@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was going to correct the reply below and say that Radio Paradise was not on 820 but on 830 kHz. I decided first to check their website 
and sure enough they are on 820 kHz. I have a QSL card from Radio Paradise from 1991 that states a frequency of 830 kHz. I had actually 
heard the station when it was still on 825 kHz. I sent my letter directly to Radio Paradise and never received a reply.This was just at the time 
that Trinity Broadcasting took over.  About a year later, I saw an article on a verification from Trinity. I sent my original letter plus a second 
letter to Trinity explaining that I had heard the station when it was still on 825 kHz and asked if they would they verify my report as being for a reception 
on 825 kHz even though they were no longer on this frequency.

They did.

They relay the TV signal of Trinity Broadcasting Network (like the old KTBN shortwave), and can be ID'd by the parallel to the web stream at www.tbn.org.  No idea on the 650.
