         It took me a while to figure out who KABN was in a previous 
life, and turns out to have been KWUN a bunch of years ago. I'm 
wondering if the station can push 40w of power? If so, wouldn't that 
make for an interesting DX Test?! The FCC site indicates that the 
license "expired" 12/1/2005, but who knows?

         In the "old days," Canadian LPRTs of 40 watts used to make 
it out for many miles. The LPRT in Ucluelet, BC (Vancouver Island 
area) made it my QTH in Modesto, CA (a bit over 800 miles), and I 
believe it also made it into the San Diego area...early 70's.
