One of my favorite daytime amateur radio hang-outs here on the West coast
during the daytime used to be 7258 khz. I enjoyed it because of the many
interesting and somewhat eccentric hams who were driven to this once great,
now somewhat dry " watering hole". Some of the past "greats" are now
conspicuous by their absence and the frequency has definitely deteriorated.
