an unid talker in there, sounded vaguely Sports talk. I am guess Oklahoma, but

more Winter conditions. (PM-OR)

Can't say that I noticed a real improvement in conditions here this
morning, that others did. Most loggings were a quick fade up and
that was the end of it, outside the big guns which weren't that big.
pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker,
at least briefly):
Thanks Ira.

Thanks Nick. A lot of memories. I met Dave when he was working at the Astoria
Employment Office in 1971. I was 21, he was 36. We went to a lot of conventions
together. Also with Bill Block.

Truly sorry to hear this Patrick. As Nigel mentioned, he was always
good company at conventions, going back way further than I care to remember.

After receiving a prepared card from the Toll Roads I tried for their
station on 1690 kHz. The FCC lists it as WQUR868 in Anaheim. I'm not sure
why the FCC allowed this since there is a station in Irvine on 1690. The
station is audible underneath the UCI station WQTB222. I can hear parts of

This morning the signal strengths of JOIB and JOUB were sometimes good enough
to be heard on a barefoot PL-310ET. In past there were sometimes a NHK1
parallel audible on 567 or 666 kHz. Surprisingly neither 693 JOAB nor 828 JOBB
haven't been heard thus far this season.

Richard,
Your continued ability to receive very long range TP-DX in Oklahoma (especially
during this lackluster season) is pretty amazing. Your new 8" FSL antenna
apparently is compensating somewhat for the generally meager propagation.

I have a nice verie letter from them on the KAKA letterhead for a frequency
check in 1963. The "interesting" part about the call didn't strike me until
now. Ah, the purity of youth. Your point is well taken though, John. :-)

Hello All,
First of all, congratulations to Richard in Oklahoma for his reception of
594-JOAK, 747-JOIB and 774-JOUB this morning-- certainly an amazing achievement
so far inland (especially in this lean solar year). Asian signals were also
improved here over yesterday's levels, with severa

Kind of sad that the station formerly on 1250 just basically abandoned its
former city of license Wickenburg AZ and moved all the way to the other side of

county. It was later bought by Frank Sinatra and became KFAS (his

This morning was possibly the best here for TP DX so far this
season.
594 JOAK? - a barely audible signal at 1243-1245 (LSR @ 1250).
747 JOIB - from 0936 until 1123, occasionally peaking to fair.
774 JOUB - from 0837, occasionally at fair strength. Signal not
heard afterward. I imagine the sig
KHSN gets out very well. Often phasing out KVAS I get them, even mixing during
the day. KHSN gets out better than KCUP Toledo which is closer.

KHIL was a regular in the afternoons into Rancho Mirage CA when I was there in
2000. KHIL even QSL'd my report with a nice verie letter. I am surprised they
went with an Oldies/AC type format. I would have thought in rural AZ, C&W would
be a good format to run.
