VG signal, but very high static levels. Tuned in during "Walk on the Wild Side." Paul right now with weather forecasts around the general McGrath area. Seems like there's a lot of rain in the forecast & the highs are in the 40s & 50s. He said it's 47 in McGrath right now

I see Radiouser logged here, so maybe they need to record some "KSKO International" IDs

Accurate time check, announced that they need some volunteers to help move records

I'm thinking Canada is their second country where heard.  Methinks, KSKO shows up on the Lavrentiya, Russia Nielsen ratings.

Do the Nielsenov Ratings pay participants one ruble to complete their surveys?
