Just as perenhial as the flow6ll's t hat bloom in the spring! That ' s tha way DX is with rr.e in September, especia lly following a wee~ end in Buffalo . Hany thanks to the fin­est people in the ·::orld, the Edge and Bra'\Ul~r fBl1,l ilies. It was a real pleasure to again a ttend an NRC Convention. Ail~ 'lt .wa~ a p1easant surprise to meet so maey tOOrn­bers for the first ti.~e~· As a result of the ConVention, I have dusted off tlaa dials , tinkered with~ ~l~X a .little bit, and nave been doing a little dial-~7isting. Also sent out f /up letters to some t 'IB.t didn• t answer last winter and have received varies from WHA.Y WKLJ & WSTA. Also a letter in from W.AXU who are heard during day­time . Report out to WTJH 1260 East Point, Ga. heard testing last i'.Ionda.y. Hope to get in considerable DXi'lig between now and. the first of J anuary . Incidenta lly, I bope Pelletier and I are back in the good graces of all oembers once again. Those veri­fications from VIACB went i nto tne ma.il . las1: week ·and all should have them b~ this t ime . Sorry to have bee': neglectful about t lut, and you can be sure it is my last a ttempt at a DX program! Was rea lly sorry the b6ys resented the delay in getting t hose varies - or were t hey .only k idding? And speaking of ki~dins, I ' m sure Charlie Conley must have had toagu.e - in- c!19ek when he complained about his losse s a t poker. He had a wad of bulls so thick that his billfo&d wouldn' t fold. (Come to t hink of it that was v;hen t he game started. Sullivan must have done bette:r than he admitted . ) Did a;ey of you notice tnat poker sS"et. s to-oe an -addiction of Pennsy lvanians i n the most par t? To:.: Ca rberry and Hal ~illiams did engage i n a little play . Aside from t ho se two it was a Psnr.sylvania struggle . I n closing me.y I express my condole:'lcE:Is to Lefty a:"ld t :l6. Dodger fans on the annual loss of. the Natio~• dl LElague pennant to t he Giants. (19-3, Dodgers over Pira tes in the 22 3~es be~veen them ! -~d . )

That ' s the DX news here a."cept ONE varia in, a letter from the folks who put on that l!lACB DX a while back. Hi , Joe l And a word about the Con-vention. Thanks a rr.i llion to a ll you fine folks v,ho dropped in for all or part of the get-together. ~~only regret is that there wasn' t time enough for me to visit longer with all of you. Vie hope you all enjoyed your visit !!.rd that you wi ll be back again next t:ime . ! • .:arty will have somet~ing to say too , when she has tima . The neighbors are still talking about the number of out - of- state cars that were on our little dead-end street that day , and n.arvelling that sot/. macy people could gather toga ther and enjoy therr,se l ves wi tbout roa.king !lX>re . noise or leaving marks of thair p:7esence. One of them, after walking through the evergreens v:mre we picnicked, re-marked, "W4r, your pl ... ce l ooks the same as befo:rs ! " Aeyway it was a most pl ea sant experience to have you all her a and we do hope to be hosts to an even bigger and b9tter convention next ti.-r:e . Tr.a.nks ee:pec1~ll~· to those who helped in the chores of getting the food ready, etc. Those XYLS. who came along seem to have solved the 11DX Vlidow11 probl em (for Conventtcn days at. least.) At;ain thanks to all 1!f you. 73 .

A r eview of the previous see.son shooed a total of 194 stationo logg;d from Sep t. 1, 19il through August 31, 1952. ~· .... rir-g t he s ame time I received varies from 292 sta.tions. That bringa my log up to d.?.ta as 1692 heard and 1344 veri::'ied. The best catches of th e season were 4YA, ZNS , CY.DA, iCFDR and a couple 9ther 250 watt­era on the West Coe.st. From June 10 until Se:._Jtember 7 I l ogged only one sta tion. That was on 6/10 when WROS- 1330 in Scottsboro, Al abama was heard on ET. Veries were fe·.1 also . Coming from KJCF KPOW llC!JS WXAP "'ROS KEEP KROP KRUL WSOK WAIT WIJ'O KOLN. Note the last one, Ken ::urpey. Told you so . 3y the wey Ken, are you still in L:im­coln? Since Sept. 1 I have started a new s6ason and have log ged the following sta­tions. On 9/7, WCAN-1250 in . ...ilwa.ukee , r.is. was nea.rd from 12- 12:30 a . u-.• on RS . On 9/19, KSYL- 970, Alexandria ' s new call for XVOB onES from 9:30-10!30 PH with lffiC program. On 9/ll I logged \.ISL-14e0 in Sban:o~in, Pa. on f /c from 4:45-5!00 on a. clea r channel for first 10 minutes . was sure g!.a1 to hear t hem. Then on the same da te I log ged t he first few r&Jirru.tes on 1

•. STV-1.3·.::0 in Steubenville, Ohio s:.fter t hey signed on at 5: 00. On 9/12 I pulled in the very elusive catch of WSAN-1470 in Al­lentown, Pa. from 5- 5!30 on a clear channel with a very good signal. I was t:tril::.ed to hear t ilis one after missin g therr so often. Tiler~ on 9/13 I heard KJBL-1240 in Pocatello, Ide.ho, si gning off at 3 :30 under WEDC . T'1ey carry CBS. They are er:.-KS'!Y. That's a pretty g.ood star t for t .ais season ar.d I hop2 it continues like it1s sta r t ­ed. No varies i n this rr.onth, yet . Also on 9/13 :':l~S-590 \Jniantov.n, Pa. 5-5 :3~ , and \'J:AL- 630, Washington, D. C. 5-5:30. ?3s .
