Ndblist's monthly CLE (coordinated listening event) is this weekend. I
got up early past two mornings to try to get some Pacific beacons but
conditions have been very poor. Since the 530 Adak Alaska NDB (ADK
ident) came back on about a month ago after years of being off, it's a
good signal when conditions are decent. I haven't heard it yet this
weekend, but did get two TP MW AMBC briefly this morning. 774 Japan
occasional very poor talk 1145 utc; 828 Japan with a brief fadeup with
woman talking, poor level, 1149 utc. 657 and 1135 with good hets.

Some snips from a much longer article from the Reading (PA ) Eagle:

"MediaNews Group offered the minimum bid to purchase the assets of the bankrupt Reading Eagle Company and plans to shut off radio station WEEU 830 AM when the deal is finalized, according to court documents filed Tuesday."

"The documents say a closing date will be set no earlier than 30 days after the agreement is approved by the court and no later than July 31."

"The court documents say Reading Eagle Company will attempt to sell the radio station's FCC license. If it is purchased, the buyer will be able to use WEEU's tower, antenna and transmitter for up to five years or until MediaNews Group sells them, whichever comes first."
