[SEDXC] Fw:FM/AM Radio Station Locator

[Rich Arland]

WOW!! That is a really neat website!
 
Found my old AM outlet, KCLX, Colfax, WA, where I started in com'l bcst in 1964. They are still on the air, country mx, their nightime pwr is now 900W vice 250. I wonder if they are still running that old Collins 20-V???
