Has anyone on list had any experience with this antenna? I want to use it indoors, possibly moving it outdoors after winter is over. I'm considering the LA5030 or ALA1530. I want to use it for LW, MW, and SW DXing, so I'd be grateful for any feedback on both antennas. Thanks, Dave

Re: [IRCA] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site

Dean, Their pattern is not on Radio Locator so I was just wondering if there was a particular reason cited in their proposal for the move like industrial buildup around their current site, area population shift, etc. It won't make much difference here as they are already dominant.

Re: [IRCA] CJCA-930 Edmonton AB to move xmtr site

Deane, When I saw your post, I said Goodie, CJCA is moving to FM. So, when I clicked on it, it was a letdown. CJCA blocks 930 enough to keep me from hearing KNSA A so far. Now, it may be even stronger. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager
