[HCDX] 555khz St Kitts logged in WI !

[J999w@xxxxxxx]

I've been chasing them for years but now I got 'em!  

ZIZ Radio, St Kitts, 555khz, 0451z October 2, 2004

I got very lucky in that the best audio came through right when they were 
giving a long ID.  Heavy slop from Chicago on 560khz. Several mentions of "Zed 
eye zed radio" with telephone number and address given.

Clip: http://members.aol.com/j999w/DX/555khz_ZIZ_StKitts.wav  (424kb, 
52seconds). Recorded directly to the hard drive of my 233mhz PC using CoolEdit2000 
software.

This is my noise reduced, filtered clip.

I did use the Palstar MW550P tuner with the Icom R71a. It certainly helped as 
far as being a pre-amp, but unsure whether it really reduced the QRM or not. 
Antenna was a 15x50 ft unterminated EWE (haven't finished terminating it yet) 
... the QRN was a little less on that antenna, so that's why I used it. Am 
having trouble with my phasing box, so this a 'one antenna' logging.

Whoo hooo !
