Re: [IRCA] KPAM?

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

750 KXL doesn't put much signal to the east even on day pattern. 1190 is 
worth checking for KEX via SSS. As for 1090..I have never had XEPRS and they 
aren't supposed to send much signal easterly. Sports on 1090 is KVOP here 
which I think cheats rather commonly for sports.

We have 3 more days this month for sunset skip and these can be the best 
days of the season.  I'll be at the dials tomorrow.  73 KAZ Barrington IL
