BC AM Freq's

[Eldon Lewis]

FYI - This may be old to some of you; but, it was new to me. The FCC has
issued licenses to some AM stations to operate in the 1600 - 1700 khz
W-band.

The good side -- it may give us a quick check on DX conditions on 160!

It may cause a new mandate for all new AM/FM receivers to include these
freqs. Remember when the powers that be ruled that all new AM receivers
must include FM?

KWBT-1640 and WJDM-1660 are in operation.
