[IRCA] An even longer graveyard reception?

2014-12-31 Thread Brian Rachford
I posted about my 1240 KODY reception at 785 miles on Monday night. I was taking one last listen to recordings from the night, and got a surprise on the 11am MST TOH, a call that I didn't notice live. I know what call letters I hear, but if I'm right, it's a very long distance catch, so I would

I'll listen when I get home. If this is coming from E-NE of you like that nice catch KODY was, it is probably something that I can get here on 1340 and I might recognize the ID if it is mushy from cadence or ancr's voice etc. I also might have it recorded. Yes, station density is considerably

Last night at about 9 pm CST I had a Spanish speaking station on the low side of 1390 with news. Of course, many stations have news at ToH so format isn't clue. It is most likely coming from towards my SW based upon semi-AU cx and my antenna array direction. Tex/Mex border stuff was great at
