Re: [IRCA] KNX-1070 Heard In Georgia

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Congratulations on your reception of 1070-KNX, Robert. 
 
One of my biggest thrills as a teenage DXer on a Navy ship in Mayport, Florida (near Jacksonville) was receiving both 1070-KNX and 980-KFWB on a $20 Sony TR-6400 portable, during transcontinental sunset skip in 1973.

KFI was my first CA from NJ in 1963 - also one of my first veries. 

( Back when there were many fewer fulltimers, no IBOC, less RF pollution 
and many stations signed off at local midnight if not daily, then at least 
on Monday mornings. )
