When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!

She's the boss!

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

We pick up KHDN Billings, MT readily on HER radio.  All we have to do is move the radio around for best reception while tuning in the station.  It sure pick it up nicely here in Sheridan, WY; over 125 miles away.  It does great DX'ing after dark... (She solved the problem) she also just found the factory-optional external plugin for it.  It has a switch for distant and local stations.  You connect a wire antenna to it, and run it outside.  WOW!!


The station was assigned the call letters KHDN in 1963. The call letters changed to KYTY on August 10, 1984. On September 10, 1986, the station changed its call sign to KBSR, on March 28, 1989, to KKUL, and on June 1, 1995 to the current KHDN.  (a bit of history here).
