Re: [IRCA] VENEZUELA on Sony SRF-59........2395 Miles!!!!
Wow Rob, You really rock, brother! Venezuela-750 heard in Ontario, Canada, on an SRF-59 ?? How can anything possibly be more thrilling than that? (Don't answer that, Dennis) If anybody out there has been living in a cave for the last month, and hasn't heard about this legendary little DX Machine, better proceed to Amazon and book your whopping $15 order now, before Sony realizes just why Amazon can't keep them in stock... 73, Gary **Start the year off right.

Re: [IRCA] VENEZUELA on Sony SRF-59........2395 Miles!!!!
Good one! I almost always hear something under WSB so maybe I should listen a little harder. I did hear and ID Cuba at one point on 750. I think WSB was off the air though. IEN-GA Ira Elbert New, III, Watkinsville - SANGEAN ATS 909 & SELECT-A-TENNA and DRAKE R8B 135' N/S Wire 750 CMHV Cuba Trinidad - 06/17 0324 - Latin music, Newscast just shy of 0330 and then more music. Man and woman talking at 0345 and then more music. Another Newscast was delivered just shy of 0400. Radio Progreso was mentioned several times along with Havana. President Bush was mentioned in the newscast just shy of 0400. Good, steady signal on both the SANGEAN and the DRAKE with slight splatter from WJR on 760 in Detroit, MI. "Radio Progreso". (IEN-GA) Now...what year was that?
