Yea, the footbal l aeaeon i s once again upan us, and again, i t influences DX, at l e a s t a l i t t l e . With OIYO major laague ~ o o t b a l l groups eratin tin^, 4 with eeveral terns on the West Coast, and with several games t o be played a t night, very often that l a s t quarter of the g a e may be heard f o r .goodly distances! An6 ofton, when an Eastern teem is flaying Bi3 the f a r west, the s ta t ion back homa a l s g car r ies the event, giving DXare the chance of catching them. Now that a l so appLies to night college games, and ewe- times i t also meane that a daytiine s ta t ion w i l l be given special pamiseion to rmLin on the a i r i n the evenings with the deecription of the game, so it might be s good idea to have a look a t your F r i d q paper's sports pages f o r such Frida~l night gm~ea, and also f o r Saturday night gmee. Now, a s the footbal l season wanes and fades, the basketbhll season comes upon the scane, and again, there are frequant g a e s on ths air l a t e r than the usual schedule of the stations. In basketball, almost a l l thb games a r e at night, w i t h the accent on Friday nights and Saturday nights. Remember there are professional leagues here, too, as well a e q r i a d a of college gaixies. Some s ta t ions i n a m a l l towns sanetimes even broftclcast high scmol baaltetball gmee, eo ue on the watch for than. One way of identifying the s ta t ion i s by l i s ten ing fo r the nmee of the tew.8 playing, then consulting your Art Foerater Radio Lag for s ta t ions i n that town. And, than i n Canada, hockey w i l l be gat t ing under way i n a few weeks, and that m a n s more broadcasts for you to be on the a l e r t for. Toward the end of the hockey eeason -that i s along abaut March - the big play-off gmes, If. t ied, p into ex t ra parioda, u n t i l some one scores, and there again, you have a wbnderful opport;mit$ of catching a eeldom-heard . s t a t i o n Canadian s ta t ions are also heard on l a t e fromtime t o time with curling matches.
