NOTES and COHKENTS...

*Please, when reporting, use: one side of paper; 24-hour clock w/ELT;

standard abbreviatione; formatseen here including cities.

inucho gracias!

*Excellent SSS to KY/TN/AL on 12/19 (RW-IL)

*Only 12 BCB 6 LW broadcast stations added in 1986! (HH-HD) Loved the joke.

Hank, especially since I'm not a Cowboy fan

(WRH)

*The location of CHRS-1040 (ex:1090) has been listed for years in

Broadcasting YB as LOYGUEUIL (across the St. Lawrence from Hontreal).

The

Jecquos Certier shown in the NRC logs does not appear on the official

Province of Quebec maps, but I note that CHRS's PD has been "Jacques

Chartier"

(KG-PA) Boy, somebody, somewhere, in the NRC should have

6 red

face.

Please note the correct city in future reports! ~hanbs.~ermit
