radiofan14 Learning the ropes... Registered: Sat Jun 02 2007 Posts: 3	Hello, I'm radiofan14, and I'm from Texas. I'm a high school student with lots of hobbies and interests, which include radio/broadcasting, politics, and photography. I love classical music, but I'm open to other genres as well. Despite my age, I LOVE talk radio (liberal and conservative) and NPR.

gtho4 Administrator Registered: Sun Dec 26 1999 Posts: 54492 Loc: Sydney oz downunder	Hello from downhere, and welcome aboard! >> with lots of hobbies and interests, which include radio/broadcasting Does this include DXing? Many moons ago I had a long wire at right angles to the USA, and picked up KLIF Dallas, KOMA Oklahoma, KNX Los Angeles, KEX Portland, and CFCN Calgary .. plus a MW station in Sacramento whose call-sign escapes me. It was after midnight here, and around dawn on the west coast (i.e. the entire path was in darkness). I don't know if those stations are still around, as it's been 30 odd years!

The CFCN call sign is not currently in use. KEX and KNX are still in use. The KOMA callsign is no longer on AM, only on FM.

I don't know how the other call letters have fared over the years. One day I might find the old valve radio, and a few hundred feet of wire, and have another go at it. The only problem is finding the time, and energy. >> The CFCN call sign is not currently in use. KEX and KNX are still in use. The KOMA callsign is no longer on AM, only on FM. KNX (I think it was 1070) used to boom in after midnight when the local stations closed down for the night. Nowadays it may no longer be possible to listen to AM from North America, with everyone on air 24/7. Your post has jogged my memory and got me thinking; I wonder if all the QSLs I'd accumulated are in some box out the garage .. 73s
