Re: [IRCA] Palm Springs radio update

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

A very descriptive report Mike, I enjoyed it very much.  Always 
interested in KWXY-1340 as it is/was one of the very few California 
stations I've never heard.  4-5 years ago I only needed 12 from 
California, much more now.  I used to just rest on 1340 hoping for some 
easy listening music to pop up but alas not to be.  The Hemet 1320 
station was another I never heard from that area, but they were daytime 
and directional to boot.

'Seems right around that time KWXY 1340 was switching over to different call sign. 'Glad they are back where they belong. It takes a bit of trying and some just-right CX to hear the desert area graveyarders (1340, 1400, and 1450) here in the L.A. area. I verified KWXY am back in 1991. I assume that they are still DXer friendly....Heck, maybe Palm Springs would be perfect for a radio club convention someday, hi. The station on 1490 in Banning (KMET these days) is MUCH easier to hear at the home qth. Sometimes even the more regional channels (920, 1140, etc...) F'get about it.....Back around 1992, then KDES 920 did a DX test and it got out well. Fun town to go picture taking!!!  73 Mike  KG6LJU
