[InHam] [Flaming_Sword] Upcoming AM Broadcast DX Test

[Paul Webster]

Hi Paul, 
Ok. So it will be a challenging test of my skill & a test of my receivers/antennas.
 
Then I think that I ought to practice tuning that station in during the nights between now & the test.
 
Thanks for the heads up.

I should point out that this station is in the so-called "graveyard" 
portion of the AM broadcast band, where many of the country's Class B and C 
nighttime stations are located, so it might be a difficult catch.  So if 
you do catch it and receive a verie latter in the return mail, you've got a bit 
of an achievement!
 
Paul.
