[Premium-Rx] 500 kHz License

[Steve]

Hi All,

WCC site is about 100 miles SE from my QTH.

Have seen it in various guises and phases over last 30 years.

Some good stories about rows of  HRO-500s that somehow made their way 
into a truck or two and disappeared into the night, as the place went 
QRT for good.

Only a few concrete tower supports left.

Will try to get a picture up after I take it.

Fair effort to preserve station history in a museum on-site.

73,

Steve
