Re: [IRCA] New logging - 870 KJMP CO in OR

Patrick,

 

Drool!!!

 

I don't have a TV I can use for DXing, and my best FM radio is in the car, so when there's skip, I'm there with my voice recorder, notebook, cigarettes and soft drink.  In Tracy, the best skip occurred when the temperature was over 100.  Thank God its cooler on the coast!

 

If you can imagine this, I keep thinking about getting a new job, taking a break and finding great E-skip on the radio.  There comes a dilemma.....work or DX.  Ugh!  That's the mark of a DXer.  At least I don't climb trees.
