Re: [IRCA] States DXed (Was: WSM transmitter off)

>From 1972-1984 I heard and verified 45 states from Michigan. I missed Maine,
Idaho, Nevada, Alaska and Hawaii. Only 21 heard here in CA and many were
heard in the mid-1980's and are no longer heard. I think I need a beverage
antenna to hear into the midwest and east coast from here. A big station DX
Test would help too.
