 Hey Guys,

 This something I always like. Just for grins, I went outside with my 
DX-440 and was
able to copy them but it was too poor. I could hear it though.

 I used an EAC, 1960 and an Alpha Delta twin sloper made for the ham 
bands and
recorded the entire broadcast.

 It is funny, we are at the bottom of the solar cycle. This broadcast 
was only 1000
watts and it cam in stronger than I have ever heard it.

 What a hobby. I love it.

 BTW, I have never received a QSL card from them. I think little 
gremlins get into
the mail and take out the dollars. I have started buying return postage 
stamps and have
increased my return ratio.

 Regards, Scott W3CV
