Didn't DX again u n t i l Mon. 12/19. Copied ECNI who was on 1490 abo~i.t a l l tnorn, KGS?! easy on DX. No sign of HJDK here due to loaal car- r i e r . Up again Wed: 21st to add - sol id on sked f / c & KIBE on viitBh 1 T beggiw dior reports on 1220. One more. i n Calc f o r me. Up next morn to give KB2C ' a try on sked.f/o. They were a poaer-house, steady S-6 signal & copied solid. KOWB finished up morn. Dec, 24 f ina l ly caught KVVC through the Mex. just before s/6ff at 3:OO. Stay.'d with 'em Ove: an hour f o r thsn to break through sufficiently. Too lazy here to get up Christmas so - can't help argrone from th i s pdint; 12/26 f ina l ly landed IOJM on f / c l a s t Mon.. 2:lO-2:26 a.m. copied sol id; then found KTKT on 1493 with all-reqcest prograru eesy Lo copy m s t d the time but at times blotted out by WOIK. They announced seldom. Heard s ta t ion ann. only twice i n over an hour. KINY also heard cn f / c , music heard fa in ly but no pdsi t ive s t a t ion c a l i so did not report. Some day they w i l l break through, I hope. That brings us up to date on DX. Not too much quantity byt ~ a l i t y bet ter . 1490 is wide' open every morn from 2-5 Isat as you can see from above I, l i ke Joe Brauner, ham' t a a e d very maq?. Ax.yway have caught a few mostly on f/q. KWIK has been heard morn after-morn, sometimes weak & others easy. t o copy. Veries since l a s t report are (mostly l e t t e r s ) KFTM KXOA XRhi KAGH I(AFP KKIN KNGS KWIK WFRO WVJP PIIBR WUSJ ,&Q& WATM WFUR KRTN KNE3Y KGLC XNON I[HUZ. Cards were KCNI WI D O N & WRH. KVRH was heard on CX 11/21, s t i l l no gROO

cer ie though. Now f o r some information which may be helpful to fellow members.. On 1490 KTYL heard daily here except on Monday morns when KAFf has been heard on conhacutive Mondays till 3:00 s toff . Don't think KTYL is on that morn. On other morns till 3:00. After 3:00, KWIK i s the all-nighter heard. Usually weaker than other two. Have noticed KGIL having an open channel f ree fran; Mex. of l a t e from around 4:30 t i l l 6255 local throws t h e i r ca r r i e r on. Am still ' wakting my ver ie f o r a report through the M a . but guess I' 11 copy again when I find 'em open. Have heard WWQl take the air f o r reg. sked several morns of l a t e at 3:45 a.m. LBT of courue. i too receiwd my veris baik irom m O , San Bernardino, signed on q own report and of course not being sa t i s f i ed I grompt- ly rewrote the C.E. who was the signer explaining that on that mr?iWEDC bad kindly sLoCd t y f o r DX-brograme from Colorado s ta t ions & i n a l l prokabili ty would never have the opportunity of hearing KRNO again and would be very pleased to receive a verie on stationvs letter-head. Sent follow-up air-mail both ways and received a swell verie fm. CE who said i t wasn't because they didn ' t appreciate our rsports tha t short s t d f e tc . was cause of those replies. & follow-up brogught a swell verie l e t t e r . I n checking through unverified reports, have found tha t oilly 1 ' K t s ta t ion has ever turned rn: down .. on a verie up u n t i l present season & that was EXAR l a s t year. W i l l t ry again th t s sea- son. Have several 'W1 c a l l s h v e r i f i e d t h a t I reported hut real ly didn' t go a f tdr a verie lake I did on the 'Kt calls . Majority of 1Wt s ta t ions I didn! t even send fo!.low- up. Canadian s ta t ions ,eve$Tone ver i f ied that I reported except CFdZ years ago & &ney di8nl t think ny report sufficient. (Have CKOY out now since Nov. 13) So I think r y cuc- cess had been good down throgm the years. Perhaps par t of t h i s i s b e t o q res?qe ?
