Re: [IRCA] WLYN 1360 & WAZN 1470

Didn't hurt to try Paul, and thanks for your dedication to the 
hobby.   Business must be good for them to be unpleasant about it, 
particularly to someone in the business.

Next kick at the can, I wonder what a 30 second spot costs at 2am on 
a non-brokered station, particularly for a non-profit?   A quickie 
IRCA information ad with Morse IDs?    I sympathize with they 
sentiment that one shouldn't have to pay for a DX test, but it 
shouldn't come as news that stations don't owe DXers anything, and 
maybe some of us geezers (not Paul, I know) have a dime or two left 
at the end of the month.

best wishes,

Nick\
