Re: [IRCA] kdka / radio reloj

[Forrester S <amradio1976@xxxxxxxxx>]

There was a conversation several years back regarding WCCO. I was at that
time 35 miles from their transmitter and at times I would hear that fade,
signifying that I was in the zone of skywave interfering with groundwave.
When and where that starts I guess would entirely depend on conditions.
Mark Durenberger,  maybe you could explain the technical side of this
better than I could?
