Logging
4755.44, The Cross Radio clearly off the air Feb 7 during checks at 1318 + 1348 + 1403 + 1429 + 1443. Jim Young (CA) heard them last night (Feb 7 UT): "The Cross was in very early tonight, first heard audio nearly 30 minutes earlier at 0642! At 0713 they are strong! Measured frequency tonight is 4755.452". Will have to see what tomorrow brings. Am happy that I already have two nice verifications for this one!
