I finally hooked up with Neil "Kaz" this weekend. Neil was kind enough to help me fix a couple of antennas that got beat up with high winds Sunday (beverage and pennant). We were able to snag KNTS 1680 out of Seattle phasing a K9AY and a pennant through a NCC-1 phase box during Seattle sunset. Phasing the two allowed us to drop a nice null on KRJO out of Louisianna. As a newbie to medium wave dxing, Neil was kind enough to share some tips on how to better use my radio shack (predominately amateur radio) to work medium wave. Thanks Neil!
