New Log again this morning 10/16/13

Got a brand new log - one left for 500!

1250 - KNEU Roosevelt, UT; after "Three Wooden Crosses" Randy Travis, heard a weak mention of "Roosevelt, Utah" at 0600 PDT 10/16; into ABC News Now. NEW #499, 5kw, 803 miles! Nice to hear something other than the WA 1250s...

Now, what will be 500? A well-wanted TP? A wanted Oregon station? A 62W low-power station from Kentucky? Who knows...

Ahhh .... as someone like Wilt Chamberlain might've said, 'You never forget your 500th'.

With the FCC picketing, are you sure you got KNEU behaving properly on their 129 nighttime watts, lol ?
The terrain blockage on the Radio-Locator map seems to be pretty formidable at night.

Back in 'the day' of fevered, competitive DXing with the peers, when the dial was a lot clearer,
the unlikely KWWL 1330 from Iowa was station # 1000 for my logbook. It was unlikely because a) it
was Iowa and b) it was on a local New York City frequency!

It'd be swell -- maybe even poetic -- for your # 500 catch to be the result of a local by you being off the air,
or fiendishly nulled, dontcha think ?

Bon chance, Crain!

I kind of use your exploits, Crain, as a barometer here in NE PA, Coal Country. This new start-over-all-again
log, admittedly as the result of a highly delinquent approach to the AM hobby, still is up there to around
330 stations for some reason.
