too common slogan. Fortunately the top-of-the-hour

WDCT
Fairfax VA broadcasts in Korean, my 4th new
station on this frequency. I paid special attention
to 1310 AM, because until recently this frequency
was often dominated by CIWW from Ottawa, and
after CIWW closed down in October, hearing exciting
new catches from the East Coast has become much
more likely. Before AIH178 I had verified 18
North American stations on this frequency, which
is less than on most other regional channels. |
