[HCDX] Silicon Valley AM Bandscan 2003-2004

[Mika Makelainen <mika@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's your chance to take a cheap (audio) tour of the Bay Area! My 
sabbatical year is drawing to an end, so I have compiled a collection of 
radio station recordings from my temporary home, the Silicon Valley in 
the San Francisco Bay Area. The Silicon Valley AM Bandscan 2003-2004 
<http://www.dxing.info/logs/usa_silicon_valley_bandscan.dx> contains a 
total of 260 station identifications and other announcements from 208 
different AM stations in the Bay Area and the U.S. West Coast, including 
also a few Canadian and Mexican stations.

Don't expect rarities - this is a result of occasional listening, not 
serious DXing. I wanted to collect good-quality recordings of the 
top-of-the hour station identifications whenever possible. The purpose 
is educative; to make it easier for you to identify the stations when 
you are DXing the U.S. West Coast. Therefore, in addition to the 
recordings (in MP3 format), the listing gives also slogans and formats.

Enjoy the sounds of the Bay, and please post your comments on the 
DXing.info Community 
<http://www.dxing.info/community/viewtopic.php?t=1472>, especially if 
you have additional information about the stations in question, such as 
their slogans and changing formats, as well as about stations missing 
from the list. In the DXing.info Community thread I have also pointed 
out a bunch of recent changes on the local AM dial, including new 
stations, formats and calls.

During the following two months I will be mostly on the road, and online 
only occasionally, which is why updating the DXing.info News section is 
temporarily done in a different way: in July and August you can find the 
latest radio news in a new temporary forum 
<http://www.dxing.info/community/viewforum.php?f=27>, but from September 
things should get back to normal, and the latest news returns to its 
normal page <http://www.dxing.info/news/index.dx>, which also serves as 
an access point to the news archive. You can keep on emailing me about 
radio news and everything else, but expect delays in responding.
