Thanks for the update on 850-KHHO's non-IBOC status, Pete. Once conditions improve, that will open up 837 and 864 for TP-DXing here. With 846-Kiribati only 4 kHz away from the local pest, the Pacific Island station is still a pretty challenging catch here. Fortunately its null bearing (to the N

Just got home from a delivery and at 06:11, 1017 fighting it out with 846 for supremacy, with 1017 winning out. Sounds like maybe RA news (or maybe RNZI?) in English. 846 a little weaker here. 73,Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 5:43 AM, R. Colin Newell wrote: > Good s
