Re: [IRCA] If Skywave Protection for Class A's was Ended, Would That be Good for DX'ers or Bad?

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

I say move the 750 mile limit down to like 350 miles.. doing so wont hurt
the station locally in the slightest and may help smaller local stations
provide better local signals and service at night. Who is really listneing
to a station 500 miles away that really matters to the station financially?
No one... DX'ers dont count.
