Dear Mr. Geary,
This letter will serve to confirm your reception of KSYG-AM at 1010 kHz on 1/23/95 from 2:15am to 2:30am CDT. The programming details you described do reflect an accurate representation of what was broadcast at that time.
The KBIS facility is licensed for non -directional operation at 10,000 watts from local sunrise to local sunset. During the nighttime we transmit a directional signal at 5,000 watts utilizing a four tower array. The nighttime pattern is
an asymetrical figure -8 oriented roughly along a line ENE to WSW. During this particular test, the transmitter was switched to the ND mode and 10,000 watts. The switching occured a few seconds before and after the scheduled reception test. That is why many who have sent in reports have commented on the fact that before and after the test the station could not be heard at all.
To date 25 reception reports have been received. I have also received a number of requests for a list of those who have sent in reports for this test. As a courtesy to all, I have included the list on the next page.
Thanks for your report.
Sincerely,
Norm Laramee Chief Engineer KSYG-AM

Mr. Kermit Geary R. D. 2, Box 298 Walnutport, Pa.
Dear Mr. Geary:
This letter is to certify your report on receiving and logging KBOK'
equipment test of November 4, 1957.
KBOK is located one-half mile North of downtown Malvern, Arkansas,
with studios and transmitter in the same building. The 1000 watt
transmitter is a Gates, as is all of our other equipment, includ-
ing console, turntables, etc.
Our BC -IF Gates transmitter feeds a six -wire open transmission
line which runs 865 feet to the tower, which is 215 feet high, and
is series excited.
The terrain around the tower is rolling, with the tower itself in
a large depression, and a small creek runs alongside the base of
the tower.
Malvern is located about five miles from Magnet Cove, Arkansas,
where the mineral concentration is so abundant as to make it world
famous as geological phenomenon. Hot Springs is 22 miles due west.
We mention the terrain and the minerals because they undoubtedly
play some part in the strength of the signal from KBOK.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas O. Graves, Chief Engineer

Dear Kermit,
Thank you for your kind letter of having heard K B T A during its frequency check on the morning of February 3rd, 1951, between the time of 1:55-2:12AM.
We are always pleased to know that K B T A is being heard so well at such distances from Batesville:
I'm sure you will forgive us for being so slow in answering your well -received letter of reception; but we have so many of this type that it keeps us pretty busy.
K B T A is R C A -equipped, with exception of a Gates Limiter. The Transmitter is a BTA-250-L, 250 Watt AM, 807 Xtal-Osc., 828 Buffer, PP 810's RF PA, 828's in class "B" as modulators, ¡ wave vertical antennae, coaxially- fed. We are affiliated with MBS, AP, Thesaurus library, etc.
Here's lot of luck in the future relative to logging BC stations, to you, Kermit:
I used to log "Ham" stations many years ago, before I, too, became one of them.hi...If you are a "Ham" op, give a listen on 20M or 75M 'fore for WSKKV, which is my call, and I'll be very happy to shoot the breeze with you.
Again thanking you very much for your letter of reception of K B T A, I am

Thank you very much for your EXCELLANT report on our stations frequency check on the night of Nov. 2. 1 have never received a more complete, accurate and well written report of reception.
Your report is actually more accurate, porbably than our log because I had to do the announcing, juggle the meters and try to keep log at the same time and may have made a number of mistakes on timing.
We are using a Gates layout throughout, and pushing about 250 Watts into 253 feet of vertical "scrap iron". We are getting 83e efficency out of our final stage which is very good. But what I cant figure out is how you knew! Located about one mile north or Warren, we are on top of a slight rise and our ground system is good as hill- top ground systems go. We have been in peration about a year and three months now.
You seem to have a good layout for listening 0.M. I have an old HRO myself and it is just about as sharp as the later models as far as I can tell. I used to listen to the bands quite a lot myself but just dont seem to have the time anymore, in fact I am just now getting around to answering your QSL. In case you are a ham you might look me up on "80" some time, the handle is

Dear Sirs
Please forgive us for waiting so long to confirm your report of reception of our Radio Station. We are very sorry, but as you know every thing about Radio work is confusing, and your letter was misplaced.
I am very happy to hear that you heard our Station so well, and so clear out in Pennsylvania. Your report corres- ponds with our log exactly, and there are no mistakes.
Thank you very much for the letter and let us hear from you again in the near future.
Yours Iruly
Jim Weston Chief Engineer
