Attention: BCB-AM DX'ers
Does anyone know of a "good" listing/directory of either U.S. or North
American AM broacst band stations ---- with cross listings by call-sign, frequency, location and possibly radiated power? In other words, a broadcast band DXer's "bible". There surely must be one --- or is BCB DXing not the hobby it once was? Thanks, Dave Pitzer ================= |

Thanks, Dave Pitzer ================= A good online source is: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html where you can look up listings for cities, states, frequencies, or by call sign, or by radius around a certain locale, or by map coordinates if you know them -- with all pertinent info on each station. bob k5qwg |
Unless they have added a lot in the last 3 or 4 years, WRTH's domestic MW
listings are pathetic*. White's Radio Log is long gone, unfortunately, so Dave's best bet is to contact the "National Radio Club" which specializes in BCB DX (until BPL and digital take care of that). Run NRC through Google, Dave, they have a large web presence. *example starting at the low end: WRTH lists 2 stations on 550 kHz. A very old (1975) pattern book from NRC lists 22 US stations. -- Crazy George Remove N O and S P A M imbedded in return address "Richard Clark" wrote in message ...

Thanks. WRTH is a bit of overkill for me. I couldn't care less about TV in Kenya! Dave P. ============= |

Hi George, 84 pages of double column listings is pathetic? Compared to what? I see 14 US stations listed for 550KHz not 2: KENI KQY KUZZ KRAI WDUN KFRM KUSA KBOW WGR KFYR WKRC KOAC WJMW KCRS On a casual glance, the shortest listing for any AM frequency has 10 stations and the longest listing has 44 (and it is hard to tell if it is the longest because there are so many of apparent equal length - in at least 25 frequencies). You are looking in the United States country listing for large stations. The comprehensive coverage for all AM stations is found in the back. Quite a difference! 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Dear Butch and Cecil;
It is good to get confirmation of such events from long ago. Somehow, I also associate the year that it happened as being the year when a postal card went from one cent to two cents. The new postal card had a red square "stamp." Anyone remember what year that would have been? Oh. Even then, I was keen on antennas and radio. 73 Mac N8TT -- J.

Possibly.
However, it seems that from about 1873 'till January 1, 1952 the rate was one cent. 73 Mac N8TT -- J. Mc Laughlin - Michigan USA Home: "Richard Clark" wrote in message ...

Let's see, all within reach I have some QSL cards from the mid 60's. One from WLW at 4 cents, WCBS for a nickel, One from K7UGA also a nickel and one from K4LIB, one from CBC for 3 cents Canadian, and a post card with several cancellations marked Hamburg, Innsbruck, and New York for One Cent (cancellations 1887) with an extra One Cent stamp (for international?). K7UGA would be livid with the crop of candy-ass, pansy republicans that inhabit the hill these days. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
I recall that postcards had "just gone up" to 2 cents when I started
kindegarten in 1954. Same time frame that Ohio started their temporary sales tax of 1%, which is up to 8% now but still "temporary." -- Karl Beckman, P.E.

Worked Berry Goldwater and Art Collins aboard Arts boat the SUNDANCE in the
60's while operating maritime mobile in the Pacific. They said if I voted for Goldwater there would be 100,000 troops in Viet Nam. I did and sure enough there were.
