Re: [IRCA] This morning's TP-DX from Central Iowa

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

This morning, I had something that wasn't Marshalls on 1098, often lasting
for several minutes, and strong at times.  Unfortunately WTAM is one of the
few stations that I have trouble nulling on the North DKAZ, even with my
Vactrol termination, so any audio I have on 1098 is under heavy WTAM slop.
I'll have try to a short phasing wire and target 1098 some morning during a
live DXing session.  Take away the slop, and I think 1098 would have been
very good this morning on par with Tim's awesome reception from Iowa.

73,
Tim Tromp
West Michigan
