Hi Dennis, I was looking for the HAR's in the Puget Sound area and catching the Longview one was by accident. I did find the mailing address, so I am going to try for that QSL. Thanks. It wasn't easy with CBXQ on the channel though. That 40 watter gets out so well, even at 250 air miles. 73, Pat

Patrick, Congratulations on your reception of the HAR station on 540 kHz in Longview Washington. I'm 27 miles South of Longview as the crows flys, and at 1:44 PDT there is just a level 3 carrier on 540 kHz. Good luck on getting the call letters. Dennis, Salmon Creek, WA JRC NRD 545 U-shaped

Thanks Paul. Lots of traffic on 960 and especially 50 KW Calgary. Baker being on the East side of Montana is quite the distance too. But I will have to sit on 960 a bit more often. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside Oregon "Come visit us for the 2010 IRCA convention held Sept 24-26 at the In

Thanks Dennis. Yes KBLL was on my want list, as I still need a few Montana stations. I never have caught Baker MT 960 either. I have a report going out to KBLL and I am hoping for the QSL too. Walking the 1500' is good exercise. I think I will leave it terminated for the Summer anyway. Patrick

Thanks Mike. I was a bit surprised with the poor Eastern cx the past few days, but they have picked up a bit. KSTP is my test. If they are coming in strng, then Eastern cx are good. KSTP has been rather poor, but a bit better last night. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside Oregon "Come visit us
