[K3PZN-List] Help with Noise on 160M - Finksburg Area

[Fred Merker]

Jim:
            Yes!!! I think the phone call will have more significance with several of us experiencing the same problem. If you have the number........... I would be happy to make the call, if you would like. 
            I wonder how many drivers go through that area listening to AM radio (WBAL or whatever.....) and think their radio is defective for a few minutes each day.


73,             Fred
