[IRCA] New verie KRLV-1340 Las Vegas NV

Received an email verifying my reception in 2 days from CE Bill Croghan. Said they were running 900 watts. Only heard for 30 seconds so didn't expect a verie. Just wanted to let the CE know I finally hear KRLV. Bill is very DXer friendly. I think I have 5 veries from him. GY verie #33. Martin

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] RIP DX Tests (was: Re: Rackley on Synchronous AM Boosters)

I'm commenting on this late. Many DXers will try to hear a DX test but most DXers today don't collect QSLs. So hearing a DX test is still a thrill for many without the QSL. It's just the change in the broadcasting industry, no more requirement for a Proof of Performance test. Most station are
