Re: [IRCA] Grayland 12
I imagine this is what Bruce Portzer and I were hearing at Grayland on June 28th. I haven't found an ID yet, don't know if Bruce has.At 1100UT, there was a "hello everyone" by a man and and some deep fades pretty much killed any ID hopes, then into 70s pop music. best wishes, Nick At 13:37 08-08-15, you wrote: KHMB is, as their website says, a community station on 1710 near SFO.

Re: [IRCA] Grayland 12
KHMB is, as their website says, a community station on 1710 near SFO.
