Re: [IRCA] KIDD-630

[Patrick Martin <mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Martin,

For such a historic station leaving the air waves for good, I would just about jump in the car and drive to Monterrey to get that verie in person. In fact I have done that several times through the years. You may remember 1510 Ontario in 2005 at the IRCA convention. Walking in the door, A DXer is not normally not turned down either. hi.  In fact I am thinking about 1240 Redmond OR, I have not not a QSL from of driving over there next Summer. 

73,

Patrick

Yes, if KIDD does go away forever all that is left is a notation in some DXers logbooks, perhaps some station photos or air checks if anybody took the time to make them (perhaps back when they were still a music station).  I was looking at that delegated station list online at  mesamike.gentoo.net/radio/cdbs/dfac.mvc.   Sad in a way but nothing lasts forever. Ms
