James E. Crictheht - 1504 Glenwood Drive - SAn Diego 3, California No reception reports have been sent out bebwden 616 dna 7/11. I had been v~oskin,$dv- ertime, and didnl t rbdnt to lose tne sleep. Tnan w e brent on vacation t r i p f o r a week. Now tha t we a r e at home, both the SX-43 ard SX-62A a re i n shops f o r general overhaul; surely hope that I get be t te r r e su l t s t h i s coming season with one o r both of them. Verifications were received from KGFJ-1230 KSLY-1400 KXIV-1400 f o r a 12 /10 /~0 report (nel~r CE cleaning out the f i l e s ) ; 1420-W!HK 1489-KSEE 1550-KEDD and 1600-VIIQIF-QSL. More f/ups needed. On our vacation t r i p we deadheaded North along the Codst as f a r as Pet- aluma, then cut bland to Scaramento, Roseville and Auburn. Then w4 went SE along the Gold Rush country to Sonora, and from there West v ia Livennore to San Francisco. I spent a very pleasant evening with Pete Taylor among a l l h is Hi-Fi equipnent . Return- sd via San Luis Obispo and Santa N ~ r i a , Santa kaula and Los Angeles. Too short a t r i p , h t fun. The short v i s i t with Pete Taylor and stops a t KSLY and KSEE ercphasized the need fo r a prepared form to accompany reception reports, explaining what is wanted in a verification. Tony Garcia from KSEE wanted to know i f I was from the FCC. h4aybe we should eiapkiasize we a r e m t connected with i t ; that it is ju s t our hobby, collect- ing proof of reception of stations. A l i t t l e l i s ten ing since returning showed a new s ta t ion , 83C-XEM\hIfi ( ? ) i n Tijuana, B.C., SS heard only so f a r ; quite strong. Bope a l l you fellows have enjoyable vacations, with good DX catches through the s m e r s t a t i c , and a good Cnnvention at Indianapolis.

On iOd, 712, I received the following: 12:57 am, PJAPI-1070; 1:33, KPRE-950; 2:32, IIFEIC-1530; 2:48, CrlACT-1420 on a t e s t , and 3:08, tVHO1U-152d, test .

Joseph Fela Jr . - 102 Hawthorne Avenue - Newark 12, New Jersey F i r s t of all , l e t m e say that I agree 1; i t h the DXers w ?a are corntine N. Y .C. stat ions with XRs i n N. J. as i n N. J-. Formerly, for instance, WNEW-1130 would be counted as N.Y. while VJRZ-970 would be counted as N-. J. Yet, the f ac t of t b matter is that the XRs o: YTEYl and VJRZ are r ight next t o each other (and Wh4CA1 6 right next to t b s e two). Be- sides, you're hearing t b i r XRs, not the i r studios (and even som of them lzave studios in N.J. near their XRS). The il.Y,C. stdtlons witn Xtis i n N. J. ( i f anyone is interest- ed) are ThGWL-5?0 WOR-710 W ~ C - 7 7 0 VJ INS-1010, WHN-1050, WmlJ-1130 \\ADO-1280 LBNX-138 0 WHOM-1480 and PEIRL-1600. (en,ough?) Philadelphia s tat ions WCAU-1210 and VIP-$10 also have their XRs i n X.J. sf%3 maybe a few o t F e r s too. Enough of this, now to DX. Veries are i n from 1VJNC-1240 VABJ-1490 WEST-1400 VDEE-1220 and V'GAR-1220, 811 v/ls. In 13 months of DXng I now have 70 unanswered reports out. Verification percent&@ is 77% but comparitively few f/ups or second reports sent ard no PPs which account f o r this . Recent DX: '7/15- WATR-1320 at 8:04 p through QEiDI;. 7/16- WMBI-137'0 s/on 3:53 (r;vess moved up frm 4:90), \tJAnIS-1380 s/on 3 :59, WTTS-1470 s/on 4:01, BIBUC-1460 e1idi.n~ ET/M at 4:02. 7122- What I believe to be CKSM-1220 through QRlC from WG./CJSS/CICO!!/X.EB at 9:18 pm, CI<CVV-1220 ID a t 9:30 f o r f i r s t evening reception from them. 7126- CISAB-1480 under/above S/KOld a t 10:30 pn. 8127- Mach noted under/above VHOM and uncer !'TiTX-1380 again but no I D S caught.
