As one who has seen what FCC de-funding of inspections and enforcement have

for ‘cheating’ but rarely dealt with by the

Congrats to all those in the 'north' and 'midwest' who bagged this! I went to

I don't think PRS likes it when you set it up 'live', start listening to wav
files and then bring it back 'live.'
Oh well, next time ...

Bill,
Thank you for posting the links to your Grayland audio and logs.
Your 621 recording sounds like it could be Tuvalu? Hopefully one
of the experienced DU dxers can ID for you. Your log book was
very impressive.
Best regards,

Not heard here in Mission Viejo CA. I listened from 10:00-10:30 PM PDT and
IBOC from AZ was dominant along with a Spanish station and I heard some

Perhaps they just cranked up the modulation? It's often shown a decent carrier
