Thanks all who took a listen, and IDed as WIZM. Not actually a new one unfortunately, though not logged for quite a few years. It's usually KRWB that predominates from that direction these days. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ IRCA mai

Gary: I listened on 603 kHz at sunrise hearing nothing other than QRM from 600 WMT. Both 972 and 1566 were silent this morning. This time of year, JOUB's signal tends to fade out before local sunrise, so there is no enhancement. Richard. --- Original Message --- From: d1028g...@ao
