Re: [IRCA] Palm Springs radio update

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

KJAY is an enigma to me Pat.  I've heard them a few times at sunset from 
S.F.  But on that dx they performed a few years ago, I listened the 
entire period and didn't hear a peep from them. No code, no sweeps, no 
voice, no nuttin.  Yet it was heard in Montana and all over the west.  
KFIG-Fresno is pretty strong here nights but I can almost always bring 
in Ogden, & Salem + Mt. Vernon & San Gabriel at times, not to mention 
Santa Clara about 35-40 miles down the road from me.  Yet I didn't hear 
a thing that night.  And yes I did listen at the correct time :-) .  At 
any rate KJAY is definitely a hard to catch station from anywhere 
outside of Sacto-Yolo counties.  How about the Santa Clara station on 
1430?  Anyone ever hear them?  I could not hear them from Sacramento 
1965-1969, nor could I hear KWUN-1480 Concord or KVRE-1460 Santa Rosa.  
Had to move to the Bay Area to log them.
