     Dave Rogers, Box 74, Buffalo, OK 73834  as a part-time night dispatcher
     for the local Sheriff is very much interested in police DXing. Their
     stations are: KLA 986, 155.76; KKJ 462, 155.49 & 39.58.
     The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) station at Guymon, KKB 469 on 44.7
     and 44.9 puts out a good signal, as does the OHP HQ station in OK City,
     KKC 883. OHP stations ID with call and location. Dave will be glad to
     supply those interested with a list of most police stations with calls
     for n.w. OK and s.w. KS.
     Dave's father is in the 2-way radio business and has KCU 210 on 35.96.

     As can be seen, the F2 spring season was poor and the Es season is
     not off to much  a start.
