[NJARC] Who's on 1640?

[E. Suhaka]

Hi Al,

I'll keep an ear on 1640 for a while.  Might be fun to go looking for 
it.  As far a I can tell Jersey Shuffle is not causing harmful 
interference.  I guess the Friendly Candy Company is not interested.

Pirate Jim has an interesting web site.  His list of FM DX is impressive.
