Re: Something Weird on 1250 Today
Scott,
It looks like Keith may be right on the money about the station you've been hearing. Although I couldn't find a date associated with this info, here's what I just ran across on the Texas Music

Scott,
I don't know the answer, but two possibilities occur to me:

From Mexico to Canada
I was able to scrounge up a few new stations overnight, the first ones for the new decade. I parked on 1410 and 1420 for long time both this morning and Fri morning trying to nail IDs from previously

Re: UNID on 1660 heard strong in CT
THANKS! I never thought of checking Wikipedia. Every once in a while I receive a station strongly in what I would expect to be the Null. A mystery to me, but so are a lot of other things. -

Re: G8 vs CR-1100 preliminary AM BCB report-FARMERIK
If the 9 Kc. steps were selected, would it be on frequency for the trans ocean signals?

I did not get the English manual included. I emailed Amazon,

Hello Farmerik,
All of the radios you mentioned (G8, PL-380, CR-1110 and PL-600) are onhand here, in this overcrowded shack.
