N R C ANNUAL CONVENTION
September 4-7, 1998
Best Western - Oak Hills
San Antonio, Texas
Hold onto your hats because this is going to be a big one! First of
all, there is no more receptive city in the world than San Antonio.
You think you will be going there for the radio conference, but when
you leave you will still be talking about the remarkable city sights,
the Alamo, sure! The Riverwalk? The restaurants? Six Flags over
Texas? Sea World? Tower of the Americas? It's endless!
And be sure to bring your radio! Imagine! DXing from a city you're
been trying to DX for years! Our host, Dale Hamm, has arranged a tour
of WOAI from 2 to 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon. Wouldn't it be a kick to
walk through the hallowed halls of one of Americas' last truly Clear
Channel operations?
But wait, there's more!
If we start listing all the stations you can visit on this page,
you just know that one or more stations will be changing their call
signs to make us look foolish. So we'll just say, in a city with two
dozen radio stations you're going to be hard pressed to hear them all,
let alone visit the ones Dale will suggest we go see.
But the real fun? Of course. Meeting many of the DXrs you're
read about and who have become such familiar names in the hobby. Many
of them will have attended these conventions in the past and they'll be
able to help you figure out what's going on most of the time. Our
tried and true receptionist will keep you newcomers on track too. So
come on Friday if you possibly can and plan for a full day of
activities on Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday morning we'll have the annual radio station quiz .. and a
live taping of the "Travellog" .. a tour across the country with our
dial set to one a.m. frequency .. loads of fun. In between the
scheduled events, relax, meet and chat with others who share this
wonderful hobby. It's really a neat time for all of us.
HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
Hotel: Best Western - Oak Hills; 7401 Wurzbach Road, San Antonio, TX
78229. 1-800-468-3507: call them until 5 p.m. CentralTime. $52
Singles; $47 each for Double Rooms (two beds) and breakfast is
included.
Convention Registration: $40 and includes Saturday banquet and all the
soda / beer and snacks you can wolf down during the weekend.
Registration should include your name and the name of any guest. Send
that along with $40 each to:
Mr. Dale Hamm, 11313 January Drive, Austin, TX 78753-2915. Auction
items should be sent to this same address.
Travel:
Rail: Call 1-800-872-7245 for information and reservations.
Generally speaking, there is daily service to major cities within
Texas and alternate day service to other major U.S. cities.
Air: If you fly into San Antonio, there is a free airport shuttle
to the Best Western. Many airlines serve San Antonio but South West
Air is offering NRC'ers 10% off; give them the special code number
S-0098 when you call 1-800-433-5368 on Monday through Friday for your
reservation.
Driving: San Antonio is at the junction of I-10 and I-35. I-410
is the beltway around the city. The hotel is in the northwest quadrant
of the city. Drive onto I-410 from I-10 or I-35 to the Babcock Street
exit, turn north on Babcock to Wurzbach Road. Turn right on Wurzbach
Road and the Best Western is the third building on your left.
The weekend program will start Friday p.m. and end Sunday p.m.
Saturday is for seeing the city and/or visiting the stations. Sunday
morning is the annual NRC quiz, a live taping for the DX Audio Service
and other goodies. Audience participation is expected!

I have been hearing several UNID Racing stations, which I thought were
Australians. After DXing this morning and checking //s I find what am
hearing on 693 khz, 1062 khz, and 1125 khz is "Radio Sport" from New
Zealand. Several of the new drequencies seem to come into the Northern
Oregon Coast quite well in the mornings. I have the 729 khz one QSL'd
earlier. I am sending tentative reports out on the other three
frequencies and keeping my fingers crossed. Wish me luck!

SPORT 927 is expanding its services to fill gaps left by stations
moving to FM.
In todays Melbourne AGE Green Guide it is reported that 927 Sports
Radio has taken over the old 3BA Ballarat transmitter on 1314. This is
in addition to the recent takeover of 945 kHz in Bendigo. The station
has recently bought a licence in Shepparton for $35000.. Does this mean
1260 is about to go?
SPORTS 927 is also looking at obtaining a licence for the Gippsland
region.
