Tops i n t h i s category ( I know nobody w i l l believe me) was log- ging WKJB easi ly through local WOR. Naturally I reported them.

J~r._-C~i$~>egt---832~~A-~&lton ~~gegt---Spn-Fgan_cisco-l~, -C_al, Here i s a s h r t report of the paat weekend's DXiilg. TihrsSay I t r i ed out the f / c l i s t for the f i r s t Thursday. New stdt ions heard through i t were KCOVi and E I J , a s l i s ted . And at 5:02 on LO10 I haard KSMN tasting. Was th i s a f / c , or Just an extra? KAIJS is now on a l l night, but XaAT was not on1450 arJi rr.ore. Cn 1590 KC/S . , EVVC was on from 3:43 to 4:38 for sure, and mwbe longsr. KRLC s/off a special t e s t a t 4:30 on 1350, t o return a t 9:30. On 630 kc/s/, BIB0 f ina l ly was tes t ing the i r new fre- quency with tone and one announcement. Saturday I heard nothing new from 7:30 to 8:30, j u s t the usual MST s/ons, no ch,anges i n freqaency noted, ;Paulie8s folks ~ i c k e d u s up at 6:00 PST an9 took us to the i r redwoods cabin for the week-end. Chopped a l o t of wood, and have a sore nose and l eg muscles to show for i t . Whoever wrote " I t ' s so Peaceful i n t h e ~ o u n t r y " was so r igh t - vc-onderful. Probably wonderful DX a l so , rpith no nearby harxonios or images,rr line.noise6. No room thers now f o r the Hal l icraf ters , an3 no antenns yet. This morning, Phoniay, Feb. 5th, I l istened f o r the spscials, but not a peep from either of them - WCHT1 or V;iC!Vi. Also onecked the f / c l i s t , with no adl i t ions. In f a c t , only Station new to me heard was CNBL on 860, over premqhbly KONO while l i s ten ing f o r WDMG, vunich I d idn t t hear on f /c . Pardon me, d i9 get KJBD, naturally, on i t s special, but no PlCfiW o r VOCM. Guess that i s a l l . the DX news for the present. Sorry I accused you of taking a r e s t l a s t week - a idn ' t know about the atage appearances. Hope the play was a h i t , and that now you are get t ing a r e s t from i t a l l . Keep up the good workwith the DX News. Kope I car, pre- sent a be t te r report next time. Probably none tn i s week-end, because we plan to take advantage oof the three-day week-end to get fa r th l s out of town. (Yep, Ji ix,i t was a success, but w@ do y0.u w a i t to get fa(r)t!ier out of town, hi? -Ed.)

LgfQ-cgo~er, 1133 3a5t-Z_1 ~ t ~ e . ~ t - - - ~ ~ o ~ k & n 26, N.1. Veries now tota12,027 with the ad,i i t ion of l a t e of YhT YYVXS (750) KMUS-DX AND IDOX, oddly, a l l czr9s! Also a l e t t e r from Norl-west Dsutscher hndfunk, t h i s time i n English, and t h i s time definite. Also a duplicate, new card from PfACB signed 7q our Joe Pel le t ier . Here's a hot one - The Editor coul in ' t get in a report l a s t week, on. account of not being able to f ind room without s ta r t ing a new stenci l . W h a t t o f i l l the r e s t of it v:ith caused me to hold a l l off u n t i l t h i s issue. 212 - V!HLP on f / c 1:30-1:45, v e q friendly and on top. Too doggoned sleepy to stay at i t a11 AM a s I had hoped to do, t h i s day between performances. One dress rehearsal las ted u n t i l 1:20 a.m. so you can see why I was a b i t on the g roga side. I had Friday off . 213- T I B (735) h e a ~ d squeezing through so copied hiin 11-12 PNI f o r a report. GHGB was up t i l l 2:00 again on 214, and a f r u i t l e s s morning here. 215 - WCRW leaked through Pat ' s car r ie r (or rather, Joe 's , h i ) but a l so not needed here - my ver ie i s from t h e i r f / c back i n 1934. Did get VOChI, though, which was definitely needed. Stayed off u n t i l 2/10, when I copied another Costa Rican, T I H 3 on 684 kc/s. at 10:40 PM t o 11:25 R\i, then swung o%r to 995 for s t i l l ailother Costa Rican, TIFC, and got a lit- t l e ; but got morethe nextwening , so se1.t "dual" report , Got be t te r log on Dhkar so sent report t h i s time, also a dual one, coupling i t x , , i t h .+ ina t I heard on 1/28. I got KAAA poorly here - very fady signal but a welcome addition to my log. 2/12, Lin- coln 's Birthday, a holiday, so I made a f u l l 6-hour AN of DXing out of it, and start- ed very pa t r io t ic ly by logging IGET Gettysburg, Pa. on s /off a t 12:05 AM. ( I sent my report to Lincoln himself - to h i s Gettysburg address, of course). Next took WHTC which I :?ad thought I had verified long ago, bilt cow~tin.g up, I found i t must have been B?rniels VIHTC card I renenbered, f o r I had none. Got WLAB (1490) we;ikly on f / c , and ET from XLWN (1320) Lawrence, Kansas wnich qliit around 3:00 a.m. K X H also log- ged f o r a new one on 1490, f / c 2:30-3:OO. IVJAT re-heard on 800, beating davn XELO beautifully, but s t i f l i n g out a th i rd party on that channel - QiBOK? KUBC, Montrose, Col. haard with new 1 1. transmitter tes t ing on 1260 which was clear othsrwise here. st 3;45 &.ma Then wrestled with weak baby on 1490 which turned out to be IONIK, not needed. A rea l and happy s ~ r , ~ r i a e at 5:00 when KSIL (i340) Si lver City, N.M. cm.e on an hour earlger than sked for f / c and topped everything u n t i l 5:12 f*e-down! F,HHM disappeared under inis strong signal here. Last new one, or rather re-logging, was WDXI, 1310, 5:20-5:30 a.m. Tried harr? for VlRFC (960) B AM a/on, but Cuban took out everything on that channel for rre. Then couldn't t e l l which on 1430 was WBL so l o s t out a l l around on that score. Tnat evening, somebody "pulled the chain" on a l l domes. t i c stations, and the resu l t was the loggicg of HJKM (733) "Radio Cristobal Colon" Bogota, and HJAF (1245) Cartagena, Colombia. HOK (640) on NNRC DX 3~45-4:+5 AM 2/13!
