The metric clock and calendar are exactly the same as the English clock

metric.

Bill,
I have noticed that stations on lower frequencies seem to get out better during
day time hours. When I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, KVIP on 550 kHz in
Redding put in a good signal with 5 kw. Another example was KAFY 550 kHz in
Bakersfield, with 1 kw heard often during the

A great example of that here in the NW, is the difference in signals
from the Tri Cities WA at 200 miles (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland). The
powerhouse is KONA 610 5 KW. They win hards down. I also get 960 5KW and
870 10 KW, but both are weaker than 610 by quite a bit. On the other
hand 1560
