WhDD gaid that my .-' :reprt was exact. to the minute. Mr. L.C.McCal1 of WVPF wrote toverify'rn report of -.their regular .broadcast on 11/26 & their. f/c & DX-Zest on 12/11. He ST*; :"I"am Very -grateful for both. of these, especially the report of reception during,o~:re@laf'bnoad- . cast day. That's the treasure of all our DX reports." He atates that theloc8'l.p'rinter has again delayed in delivering the special QSL carie he is having printed, .but that they will be sent out Just as soon as they are received:So just sit tight, bbys, your WWF cards weren't sent out between Christmas and New Yearb as promisod, but ybu!ll &t them just as soon as possible, I'm sure. Mr. McCall closes with the f01lo~~:ngwordsof en- couragement which make up for all. those lost hours ef sleep: 'Thanks +in' for the nice reports, & keep up the good work. I'm sure the troac?easting stati~nsappreciate' the re- ports which you fellows send to them/" The prize of them all, howsver, came' frcn:WSFT, Thomaston, Ga. Gen Mgr. S.J.Carswel1 starts off saying, "I imagine .this verifieation is a little different from any you have received." He then gpes on to tell how they had my complete report prdited up into 500 folders (a copy was enclosed) which will be at- tached to all outgoing mail until. ussd up. -% note in the folder states that I hold the record for long-iistanca reception of WSFT during daylight, hours. Also enclosed was WSFTrs rate card me. their coverage map. It certainly is gratifying to, find the veries starting to roll in at last. I don't mind saying that I was quite disappointed earlier in .the season with the apgarent lack of coeoperation shown by the otations, but the cur- rent responfie i.s highly r;ncouraging.

' From What I cants11 here in central Pennsylvania, the TA reception is at apeak simil3r to 1937 and again in 1943. It has baen on just about a- 6-year cycle. Ndes me wish I were back on Long Island, for only the BBC & Limogea have come through enough for ihe to lop. Steve Msnn called me last evening (Jan. 8) hut in spite of nis fesling that this A.M. ought to be good, nothing but a few carrier8 drifted out here to centr~lPa. Well, here - is a record mf npr DX activity since my last report, which was last spring. 11/24 re- parted to WRO from 3:00 to 3r15 a.m., already verified, 12/19, KCNI on test 4:OO-4:30, already verified; WAPO on early AM program 4:45-5:00 a.m., 12131- WJAX on test 2:45-3:00 VPTR 24 hour program 3:45-4:00 a.m. 112, Limoges, France, 3:OO-3:25 a.m., E-5 snd easy to log; KCLO on monthly test 3:20-3:40 a.m., WHCC, ditto 3:45-3:50 a.m., After 14 years of wing, finally IWAR 3:50-4:00 a.mt, faded in at 5-4 but went out at 4:00 a.m., not to- -return by 4:30; 113 - CKOY on all-night ahow from 2:50 to 3:10 a.m., WVOT heard but riot reported 3:15-3:30 test/ 117 - VIFIJR on f/c 3:50-4:00, WJPG on special test4:02- 4:20 a.m., WLOH on test, Primeton, W.

I think I an in the awing of things again and hearing KFAR and Lin- oges have mtten enbugh enthusiam into me to keep listening. That i8 about it for now and perhaps these TAs that everyone else is hearing may lrift in fiere some. I could use so mq, but the added land area makea a difference.

My inter5.t along this line leads me to balieve that you fel0 lows back there might. bike to know what those 6 ehanrie3.d are like out here. I'm going to use PST & you can convert it to your own local time. To begin with, 1230 ia a mess. KGFJ ?&AS& K0OS.are all-nightera, and gERO is on until.. , 2:00 a.m. On some Monday morn- ings the channel is- completely clear after 2:00 a.m.. The.first station that then can be copied with a decent signal is KLVT. On 1240 KSON is the only station on after 12 & on Mon. he is silent & WGGA is fine on s/on. KATO & KRUXIkeep 1340 buzzing with the lat- tar on all night & KATO to 3 AM. Mon. this freq. is also clear until the chatter of in- ~luonerable Texhns wake it up at 4. On 1400 RUGN is on to 12:05, KlE until 1, & KENO to 4. Then Texas takes over (and it' a alwes Texas. ) When KORE s/off a't 12:15, 1450 stays clear to 3 AM, except for ENOE which is only a whisper & on Sun. AN when KLEN generally stays up until 2 AM. And while you boys in the East can crow about 1400, WIE has found a sponsor (!) for the hours bet. 4 & 6, previously silsnt, & is now never silent. Fur- thermore, KTKT i8.a new all-nighter. That's the story from here. DX from the East con- tinues unsb.tisfactory, but from otbr sections, wow! After attempting unsuccessfully ta .'hear even a whisper from KFAR for weeks, one .AM 2 weeks ago it blasted in here & ha6 ..been a oegular ever since. KFFB is a cinch, ditto KENI, & as for KFW, it's almost 1 ike -: a local. These stations all s/off at 12 mdt. Centrzl Alaska time, 2 AM PST or 6 AM EST which may account f6r the misconception in the f/c list Cut some of these stations teat during those times... .
