WOW!!! Their 41W was just in there on the truck stereo, and on the WOG on the Xiegu SDR at S10/9. I like that they do tunage, mainly classic pop from 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, Y2K's, and even heard that newer 'I Made You Look' tune, whomever sings that. An ESPN Sports station tries to bowl them over, but WHLN stays in there. Sound quality isn't that wide, and I had 'em on the WOG and the Xiegu SDR rig. Maybe peaking at 70% MOD and not a wide bandwidth. Still, I welcome them jammin' out.

I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

There's one in the 30 watt range west of there in Horse Cave, KY. that gets out too. Both of those towns are along the area in the Cumberland Mts. where the bedrock shifts from sandstone in the east to limestone in the west. It seems to make a difference in MW propagation in the region.

Horse Cave is just south of Mammoth Cave on I-65. Lot's of distillery's in that area but you can't buy the products in the area. They're all dry counties.

Interesting frequency 1410... a regional channel with no really dominant station... never know what you may hear on any given night.
