KMB 305 had been previously listed as KMB 395. Locations for KOP 303, KCB 897, KOK 418, KIQ 999 are still not known. I still have a lot of 33-MHz FD's with only call letters. These will appear whenever freqs and locations are determined. Please note that the new deadline for this column is on the 12th. Due to the large size lately with all the welcomed reports this was necessary. Stateside F2 ought to remain good until about mid-March. There's no certainty about the fall level when it returns. 73, Pat WA5IYX/5
