Paisley? 2216 still music. These say it`s Thunder Chicken Radio:

so: ``Hi Glenn, I've heard World of Radio at 0930 Saturdays on 7570
earlier in A25 season. Peter W Hansen``. The transmitter grid shows
7570 WRMI-5 is on System D during that hour. But the System D sked

** U S A. Nice sporadic E FM DX opening, August 13; I wonder if the
Perseids peak encouraged it? All times strictly UT. All heard with my
own ears in real time, on caradio with fender vertical antenna only,
no recording, no internet access during, but researched later, main
reference WTFDA FM Database, or broader searches when necessary. Some
are not definite, but I do not count stations, states or anything,
rather ID as much as possible FYI. Suggestions and correxions welcome.
Distance from/to in km/miles added at end of each, city to city, not
site to site, so approximate, and including does not necessarily make
a log more definite. Each DX log a potential learning experience.
94.5 at 1555, talk and CCI, and 97.3 song, signs of sporadic E on

Lee - which is in SE VA, and is or was an army fort, not a town, so
why would a commercial station be there?

UNIDENTIFIED. 7235, Aug 13 at 0630, JBA carrier still here. Will an

Turkistan and Korea N on 7235 but only at very different hours. HFCC,

why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
