~ ~ 1 2 i g n - ~ ~ i ~ i s _ = At&+ta_,-Ggog&a- This is nm first l e t t e r t i the club although I have been a mm~~ber of the club f o r several yLars and sent i n reports before I-went off to college. Since I s tar ted college I have l e t my radio cool off and that has been a long t h e . I rn now a senior i n college m d I sure am rusty a t twisting the old knobs. laward the end of l a s t quarter I decided to see what I could f ind on the d i a l one afternoon. I picked up a few stations, but nothing t o brag about. I received WNOE on 1060, WJBO on 1150, WOAI on 1200, mOX on 1120, FLBB on 1100 an3. plenty of noise which I didn't count. I have found out tha t an engineering school i s no place t o s i t up at night l is tening to the radio f o r Dying purposes. I f you f ind a s ta t ion tha t of fe rs quiet music you might l i s t e n to it while studying. An0 ther thing that might keep me from much DXing i s the radio I have here at school. I t i s an Wnerson table model radio with an an- tenna strung around the room. I s tar ted to vohmteer to take care of the f / c s but I am. not sure where I w i l l be a f t e r June. I graiuate and receive a Reserve Corrmission i n the Navy and a t the say things stalid now, I may be taking past-graauate v~ork at the University of North Xorea along with some other rrmbere of the MC. I haven't done much to improve the club o r help out i n the miidle of the numerous services that it offers to us members. I wrote HaroldWagner that I would volunteer to count b - l l o t s i n the elections i n April. you might pass that viird along to the r e s t of the members i f he decides to use my service%.
