Kevin Redding on the ABDX listserver noted them rather strong at his QTH (245 air miles from Atlanta) a few nights ago. If they're stuck on 28 Kw at night, this would give a lot of DXers in the Midwest and points further west a good shot at adding a new logging from Georgia to their totals

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.
