HA! If that isn't the biggest, steaming, festering pile of doggie doo-doo I've ever heard. I've taken tons of transmitter pictures. WOOPS. Guess I've broken some inane, archaic FCC law. Hand cuff me, throw me in a cell and throw away the key! Paul Walker www.realradiousa.com On Fri, Apr 4, 2

Dave, Years ago, I was visiting a local station and the new PD said that we could not take a pix of the transmitter as it was not allowed by the FCC. I kid you not. I was there when he said it. So, there are a lot of misinformed people out there. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager __

On the subject of QSL denials, the only I received was from Radio Japan. WRMI in Miami was relaying one of their broadcasts one day, and wanting a QSL as the transmitting site, I sent in my report. They didn't exactly deny, but confirmed a completely different time, location, and frequency. I s

Don, I got a QSL from CFRA back in 65 from Seward AK. I think they had moved to 580 by then. I have several QSLs from that era that the stations said I was the first report from AK, including a non verifier at the time KBUZ. The OM mentioned they don't generally respond to QSL requests, but since

I remember receiving a QSL Letter from CFRA-Ottawa Ont., believe they were on 560 at the time (December 1950), saying that my program content was exactly correct but they couldn't understand how I heard them as they beamed their signal almost totally away from me. I was in NW Iowa at the time.

I have never had that happen to me, quite that way. I did go to the old KISN transmitter site once trying to get a QSL, but the armed guards ran us off. Later on, I did get a QSL from the old CE. I have been turned down for reasons the station doesn't have the time, but in cases like that, i have b

This didn't happen recently, but while on the phone with Powell, the story came to mind... Back when I was living on my own, after high school, in Connecticut.. I was tuning the AM dials and heard a station with very clear call letters, promos and etc that very clearly identified the station. They
