Re: [IRCA] CONVENTION INTENTION
John,
I have the same issue here. A really wonderful area to DX the Pacific has really been downgraded with a lot of noise. I think most is man made noise in houses. It used to be I could fight the power line noise as Pacific Power would come out and repair the issues, but with so many devices in homes, the noise is a lot worse than it used to be. I spend a lot of time either DXing FM or stream radio/tv from all over. Add in a wifi radio.

Hi Mark - After about 68 years of DXing, my interest has decreased considerably. Several reasons, including noise level on the AM band, overall lousy programming
