Re: [PLUG] OT: MontCo Dispatch system web & RSS


Speaking of Dxing, I had a really odd AM one a few months ago. I have a cheap shower radio and I listen to KYW. One night I could NOT tune KYW on 1060AM, but I got the Chicago and Boston equivalents for a little bit. I also got 1010 WINS in NYC, but that's not that big a deal. The tuner is junk and the dial is very sloppy and inaccurate but...there it is.

That's pretty slick.

Since you mentioned hams though...

I've been practicing my HF mobile work.  The bands have been a bit challenging the last couple of days.  I worked a more local station 205 miles west of Philly on 80m last night and we all agreed the band was doing some very very weird things.

I've been enjoying the challenge of listening for and getting better at working those stations buried a bit further down in the noise.  Never know when such a skill will be needed due to a more series event when all the "slick" services are down.
Later,
JP
