  All,

I gave up about 7 minutes before 1 and crashed. Probably wouldn't have heard much on 680 but was interested in getting clear 670 reception. Sorry Mike, KPUA was in again under KBOI as was WSCR at check around 12:30 or so. Well, in my next life--maybe!

p.s. I also could hear the 1610 TT altho with poor signal as that frequency is very garbled here at all times. dkk

The test equipment that they used at KTCT half way through their work started being used immediately on 680 when they took it down and that created a lot of noise to work through. My Grundig S350 (being incredibly cheap) gave me an extremely strong KLIV/1590 on 680 (1590 - 2x455), and the slop from that was encroaching on 670. 670 was strong Boise, strong Sonora, and presumed weak Simi Valley. 680 was only KLIV/1590. I went out to the car so I could use a different radio design. The car has its own problem, as there is a 10-minute timer after you turn it to accessory mode where window motion is enabled. During that time, there is severe hum where you can't hear anything but locals. This is a new problem. After that finally finished, 680 was only XESON/Hermosillo. There was NO ability to use a directional antenna there. I wish I could have had better luck on 680.
