Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 1/20/17



Hi Richard,

Congrats on finally being sure of V7AB! As always the issue is WTAM and the
fact that V7AB audio is cut at 1130 UTC leaving that AN OC. Once they up
power from the current 13 kW to their max of 25 they should be even more
common.

A DKAZ antenna would work wonders in taking WTAM out of the picture for you
if you aim it to the west. Long lower angle one hop skip is clobbered in
the back null. At similar distance between you and Cleveland are WBZ and
KOA for me in IL. Both get pummeled in the DKAZ back nulls depending on
whether I aim east or west.
