KICY Nome is tearing up KOA! As good as it was in Grayland two weeks ago. Just recorded the ID at the top of the hour w/ what sounded like a PSA - Ya.

My wife does not like it - and neither does Walter it seems! I was would rate the reception at this time as marginal - KOA ruled the channel and although there was this different spiritual programming leading up to the hour, the voice that I heard could have been as easily male as female -- that is how bad it was. Last year, my Eton E1 slipped off a window ledge -- over 100 feet above the ground. Thankfully, I caught it. Having worked on radio towers upwards of 200 feet high, in my career, tall things do not bother me in the slightest. At 50 years of age I am often perched on top of 30 to 40 feet of scaffolding installing speakers in University auditoriums -- like I was today in the University of Victoria's First Peoples Ceremonial Hall. All good fun. Honing my DXing skills... even on the job! -- ..
