Re: [IRCA] phasing

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a few bad locals here. Namely I am 12 miles NNW of WGN and 13 NNW of 
of WBBM. WSCR is a bit further south. WNVR 1030 is 13 miles to my NW and 
very strong days as is nearby WCPT 850. I have zero overload with BOGs in 
any direction other than a bit when I aim directly at WGN/WBBM and if I by 
pass the Quantum, I still get a bit overload on my R8A.

If I use long elevated wires, I pick up loads of local signal and often 
overload the R8A without the phaser.

So I also haven't experienced the overloading troubles with the Quantum that 
others mention. Could it be that there's a different component in some of 
them ?
