Much to my later regret, in 1960-61 I did NOT keep records of TV-DX relogs (while maintaining a ridiculously-detailed SWL log of h.f. relogs, mostly 31-mb, in those two years!) And, for most of 1962, while TV-DX relogs were noted, only the date and not the exact time was recorded. Also, during part of this year another ridiculous re-log criteria of mine might have been still in effect where I required enough program data that a reception report could have been generated. In other words, I may NOT have re-logged a station solely on the basis of hearing/seeing its full ident!! More self-inflicted wounds to the detrement of my early TV-DX data collection. The "XEWs" here may include other Ch 2s of the Network.
