al KPJC in Salem, in the AM mode as well as a little better using CW. I don't know if it's data or what. The skill of the sender doesn't appear to be all that good and it appears to be in the 5-10 wpm range, but it's inconsistant. Ideas? Thanks. 73- Doug Pifer A

Hey Paul, It sounded great to me and thanks for posting the clip. So the guy thinks you have an accent, hi. I've been on the air, maybe a half dozen times during my DX career, ( I definitely don't have a voice and am prone to be nervous, hi) and I had called just to say I was listening to them

Hey Patrick, Darn near every DJ that came out of KMPC during that period went on to bigger and better things. It was pretty amazing. On 710, KIRO dominates (obviously) and KSPN isn't all that common. Last logging was in '04. I got KMIA three years ago and that's it. Since my noises sort of f

Thanks for backing my thoughts up a bit here. I've been pretty lucky with Cuban stations in the past, but unless I get a good peak at around the ToH, I might be out of luck. KSPN has had some decent, longer fades and that's when the SS moves in. 73- doug - Original Message - From: "Pat
