Yup, it was just after I moved to Lead, SD. My log book, prepared in November, 1984, shows WSM as the only night regular. I logged CKOM for the first time 9/23/85 @1916. I don't have a power listed for them--that's how new they were on the channel. They became, as I said in an earlier post, a night regular mixing w/WSM thereafter. I see that I also logged CISL for the first time that same morning @0651. I believe WKKQ (now WNMT) moved to 650 a couple years before--they used to be on 1060 and they were licensed to Hibbing, even after the move. My Lead book shows I logged them 12/28/84, 1615, but I believe I had heard them while I still lived in Illinois. Trouble is, I've lost my Illinois log book.

Speaking of Saskatoon, does anyone remember when 650 went on the air there? In the old days WSM was a regular nighttimer here and many folks around here would tune in to the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday nights. Unfortunately the vast majority of these folks have since passed on and the few remaining don't remember exactly when Saskatoon killed the reception of WSM here.

WSM covering 38 states at night might be a stretch, but I can get them on a nightly basis in Omaha. And if you take a compass, stretch it from Nashville to Omaha and make the circle, that circle will cover all or part of 28 states, missing New England and everything west of the Mountain-Central Time Zone line. That's still a pretty big chunk of the lower 48. 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, NE (reporting on the road in Washington, MO) . _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
