This morning, I had something that wasn't Marshalls on 1098, often lasting for several minutes, and strong at times. Unfortunately WTAM is one of the few stations that I have trouble nulling on the North DKAZ, even with my Vactrol termination, so any audio I have on 1098 is under heavy WTAM slop. I'll have try to a short phasing wire and target 1098 some morning during a live DXing session. Take away the slop, and I think 1098 would have been very good this morning on par with Tim's awesome reception from Iowa.
