Marvin E. Robbins, 7805 Woolworth Avenue, Omaha, NE 68124, an NNRC
editor, is actively monitoring all 3 VHF-UHF u tility bands with a
Realistic PRO-3.
KDN 402, 35.54 MHz is a local pager there. Marv believes it may be
what I have been reporting as KDN 492. I'm inclined to agree.

nearby in the state. all 24 hr operation and simulcasting.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KFL 936 was earlier reported to be in WI. This is not so sure now.
KMB 305 had been previously listed as KMB 395. Locations for KOP 303,
KCB 897, KOK 418, KIQ 999 are still not known. I still have a lot of
33-MHz FD's with only call letters. These will appear whenever freqs
and locations are determined.
Please note that the new deadline for this column is on the 12th.
Due to the large size lately with all the welcomed reports this was
necessary. Stateside F2 ought to remain good until about mid-March.
There's no certainty about the fall level when it returns.
