[IRCA] WSM's nighttime coverage

Depending on conditions, they are pretty listenable on a barefoot Super Radio II or a GE world monitor in Roswell, NM. In the winter I get them w/ a barefoot Panasonic 2800 on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Jerry Kiefer ___ IRCA mailing

Hello To All, Another decent evening propagation wise as a good variety of signals crossed the band. The solar K index hovered at 2 however signals from some stations still packed some punch. Dianne logged Romania for a new country and station for her ULR log. I also added a new one to my log.

I got this radio at a pawn shop for $35 a while back and while it's not the ideal DX box for SWL, my primary interest, it does do a very nice job on MW after an alignment and a bit of tweaking. I've had it apart and back together 4 times now, lacking a service manual or even a schematic I'm
