Re: [IRCA] KOJM 610 MT into IL this morning (CDT)

[Neil Kazaross <neilkaz58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thx guys, all 1 kW stations over 1800 km away will be happily accepted here
especially when they don't have a favorable DA to me. This reception really
highlights the usefulness of the Perseus to me.

Noting that CHMJ 730 was in (new for me after 100's of tries) and CBU 690
was in (rare) I paid special attention to 610 my recording looking for CKNL
(gets into central MN) thru KCSP which was fading. Sure enough I found
significant QRM to KCSP near TOH (1200 UTC). Cold temps in F and snow/rain
line ment. Calls sd/lk KLKN. Hmm...I play it back over and over switch
sidebands, adjust bandpass filters etc. OK it sd/lk it could be KOJM and no
where else fits that wx rpt but I want to hear it more clearly.

OK I think, lets go back to the beginning of the recordings (1157) and try
something differeny. AM synch mode seems to be helping to pull KOJM audio
thru KCSP. Rock, mx end, KOJM call heard, MT ment and bit of local nx can
be copied. Wx and calls at 1200 are more clearly KOJM.

Normally I don't find AM Synch mode to help domestic DX much, but it is a
big help for splits like my recent DU's as long as they are 2 kHz or more
away from the domestic channel.
