Found a new broadcast station in Fairfax

[Richard O'Neill]

  According to the FCC database WTNT (AM) is running 8kw by day, 25 
watts at night. Non directional antenna. Squawk programming.
The station is easily received in Waldorf on my crystal set, day and night.

  http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?state=&call=wtnt&arn=&city=&freq=530&fre2=1700&type=0&facid=&class=&list=0&dist=&dlat2=&mlat2=&slat2=&NS=N&dlon2=&mlon2=&slon2=&EW=W&size=9

   A more interesting station can be heard on 740 via skip at night - 
from Toronto. Great variety programming. It's also on the internet at
