Re: [IRCA] CKSW-570 pattern out of whack?

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A big "duh" to me..since I checked where Sandy Lake is in relation to Swift 
Current and CKSW most definately has to be putting substantial signal to the 
east. I'll look for them tonite, since last season I had both KNRS and KVI 
under WNAX on my westerly Phased BOG System.
