Re: [IRCA] LI DX - was - New Member

Despite the proximity of all the NYC stations, DX was pretty good from LI.
In the fall and winter, I used to listen to WWVA most mornings until 9 a.m.
or so despite WJCC. In fact, WWVA did so well that it usually was armchair
copy rather than requiring me to sit there with headphone, turning knobs
like a safecracker.

>>I'm in Kansas City, but I used to DX from Long Island.

I used to live in LI, the summer trips to the Hamptons were a lot of fun as
there would often be good reception from the Caribbean and upper South
America. The period right after sunset on summer nights when there was no
t-storm activity could give some real good DX. This was with just stock
portables with built in antennas.

During the day there would be all-day reception of CHSJ-700 before they went
silent, if you were in a place with low local noise.
