As for KGED, they have apparently been heard in South Africa, quite a
feat.



I was talking to my friend Pat Martin yesterday (a biggie in the DX
field),
and he told me about that. Apparently, KGED is using him for thier
reception
report manager. That is quite a feat, indeed. I have yet to hear anything
at
all in the X-band here in Korea.. but if I'm going to hear anything, it
would be a station like KGED. Maybe I'll go on a DX-pedition to the east
coast one of these days with my E1XM and Grundig Satellit 700.

Good luck! Here at least, in the heartland of the USA, TA/TP dx is pretty
much
non-existent other than the occasional het from Algeria or whatever.

The band of course is awash with signals, so it would be very interesting
from
some foreign land, especially if one understands English. A plethora of
stations
to spend a lifetime dx'ing.



I'm hoping that I can find a decent place to DX from. At this place, the
only US station I can hear is WWVH, and that only on rare occasions on 5 and
10 MHz. That, and occasional VOA signals, but I'm pretty sure those are
coming from a nearby relay.

Radio audiences and radio advertising are all concentrated in the 6 AM
to 7 PM hours. Since radio is a business, we have to focus on the times
when some economic benefit can be derived, or we go out of business and
have to sell.

You said yourself you only survey people who live in metro areas, so how
can you speak with any kind of authority regarding how us hillbillies use
the radio?

I don't survey. Arbitron does. And if you are anywhere in LA County, you are
in a metro

Radio broadcasting is to serve the public interest, convenience and
necessity. If you can serve the public and make a few bucks on the side,
good for you.

Unfortunately, about half of all stations have not made money since the
50's.

I can't think of a single successful x-band station...

I can:

Yes, you did find one. The station is #3 in billing in the market, and is
installing HD this month, per the web page.

Turns out there are more... KOZN in Omaha, WEUP in Huntsville, WJRO in
Monroe, KRZI in Waco and WQLR in Kalamazoo.

6 successful ones out of 53 X Band stations.

This station, on a clean channel, covers most of California with a very
listenable signal, with only 10 KW days, 1 KW night. Why? Because the
frequency doesn't have too many stations on it. Greed killed AM radio,
along with the rest of the former USA.

I didn't know the USA went away. Time for another bowl of intelligence
suppressant.

Go for it Brenda and let us know how it turned out.

Just what is your fascination with male genitalia, Lare? You solicit
fellatio on this newsgroup and then post your phone number so other
perverts can contact you. This week you've also had public communication
in this newsgroup concerning vibrating condoms.

Keep your twisted sex life out of here, Sweet Cheeks, and confine it to
your weekly 'Mutual Respect' sessions.

It's what they call you at the 'Mutual Respect' sessions, as you well
know. Have you ordered the vibrating condoms recommended to you by Burr
yet? Are you and all your partners getting case lots? Do you get
Frequent Deviancy Discounts?
