KIAL's website is http://www.kial.org/ and includes some info on the upgrade (it sounds like they may move to FM at some point, due to lack of a suitable site for a new AM tower. The programming looks fairly typical for Alaskan community stations (a mix of NPR shows interspersed with all-over-t

Bruce, Thanks. Now, there would be a job at Unalaska. For the people that want to get away from it all. But I'll bet, DX would be good, if you could take the weather. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list [EMAIL PR
