That w a s on 3/10 when f ive new stat ions were added to iv log. They were ICSnI (1450) llIoeae Lake, 71!as:?. on R3 and s/off at 2:55. A good catc:~, as thy a r e :--ovirig t o 1470 soon.

Nothin, n w &Led 3n 3/12 as the only DX thzt made it thro--qh hare was KCOV and they are ilmzdy ver- if ied. .rtscc?tion to the Vest was s o d ht even the powerful s ta t ions to Cle Ezst .rere hard to hear. Consequently I could^^ t even hear TEDC l e t alone T'ROV. Only other adiiition t o rr;y log f o r the week w a s XEOY (1000) heard i n the c lea t at 8:45 p. 3. on 3/15 so r s r c r t sent f o r only second rsxican r e p ~ r t e d th i s season.
