Thx..the majority of my GY records are to the west since that is the main direction I DX towards. The station density to the west of IL is less than to the east and this direction also points away from most local Chicago area pests. There's often severe powerline noise to my east, although that has mostly subsided the past couple of days. I used phased BOGs here for years and these usually aimed westerly as the layout of my property doesn't allow much access for a BOG to the east. I do have some records from the east and south.
WOMI has been hrd here but is just over 300 miles. Re:TA's some carriers were noted, mostly from more southerly path stuff and I did manage to drag out a bit of SS on 1179 presumably Canaries past WHAM. Lots of antenna work this weekend trimming trees and reeds that have grown into my wires the past couple of months and then tweaking Rt's (one may be burned out) and then comparing vs remotely variable Rt. 73 KAZ -----Original Message----- >From: Bill Whitacre <[email protected]> >Sent: Sep 7, 2013 4:59 AM >To: [email protected], neilkaz <[email protected]> >Cc: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America ><[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] WQFG689 1710 Hudson Cty NJ into IL tonight > >Congrats on the GYs!
