[net.ham-radio] Frequency lists and other comments

rjr@mgweed.UUCP (Bob Roehrig) (07/14/84)

I like to see the "scanner" and other frequency lists. I would not
object to a net.swl group either. If that is not practical for some
reason, then it best belongs here, I think.

By the way, last nite I heard a station on 179 kHz. It was WGU20
and they gave the time every 10 seconds..  

I have heard this station in years past. I think they are in New Jersey
and it is run by NOAA. Anyone got any info on it???????

(They were 10 over S-9 on my R-1000 with a 25 foot vertical and a tuner
but I could not find them on my early 70's vintage Zenith Transoceanic).
