Any *real* DXer would. -- Bill W6WRT Oh, Ok. That kind of AM DXing. The SWL flavor. I though he meant put the transmitter in the AM mode and werk sum Deeee-X. 73, Jim KH2D |

Shame on you, Jim. :-) Are you saying you never tuned your car radio while driving late at night trying to pick up some AM DX? Any *real* DXer would. Back in the 80s I'd agreed to be an Arbitron radio "rater," for lack of a better term. I was given a little journal book to indicate what radio stations I listened to in 1/4 hour segments over a 3 month period. About a week after submitting my duly-completed book back to Arbitron, I got a phone call asking me if I thought is was some sort of joke and what were my answers supposed to represent. Of course, except for a couple of local newscasts, I never listened to the hideous crap that masquerades as listenable content on Toronto's airwaves. I duly pointed out that at no point in the instructions was I restricted to local broadcast stations only. My book was about 50% AM-band DX (mostly WCBS, WABC, KMOX, WTIC, WLW, WJR, WHO, WGN, WRNO, WWVA, WBBM and WSM), a few Short Wave entries from Deutch Welle, the BBC, Radio Moscow and Radio Canada International, Weather Radio Canada on VHF, two 2m amateur repeaters and the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force and Toronto Fire Department radio systems. Funny, but I was never asked to participate again for some strange reason.... 73 de Peter, W2IRT (ex-AB2NZ, VE3THX) Please reply to Double-you Two Eye Are Tee at Arrl.net |

Around the same period, my family and I filled out our journals with no unusual entries as you did, and we were never asked again to participate. So once your number comes up in their sample, you probably will not be asked again, in this lifetime, to be part of their survey. 73 de Evan, KB2AMY |
