[BC] Frequency Measuring

[Bob Stroupe]

Hey Dave:

Was the person that did the measurements for you named Claude Gray and located in
Birmingham?

I remember WSSO in Starkville, MS and their FM, then WSMU-FM, used Mr. Gray for the
freq. measurements but I also wondered how he could receive the FM in Birmingham.
