[BC] 500 kHz and distress signals.

[John Vodenik]

Don't know if anybody other that me is listening, but KPH is BOOMING in to 
my place right now.  Running S-9 + 30 on 6477.5 Kc.  I heard the start at 
0001 GMT on 8642 Kc.  Bad propagation on that frequency.  KPH is probably 
250 air miles from me here in Delano.  Now, I just wish I could copy this 
fast !!!  73 y'all

John @ VOA / Delano ( listening at home).
