Re: [IRCA] 1510 KGA night pattern

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My BOGs aim right at northern Colorado so that may have something to do with 
it. I wouldn't call KCKK strong at night, but by far they are what I get on 
1510 with WLAC phased. Keep me abreast of your tuning and tweaking and I'll 
let you know how well I am getting them at night.

As an example, of what these Phased BOGs can do, during good cx I can get 
KSIR 1010 and KRCN 1060 from CO when they are on night power. They can be 
tremendous via SSS when still on day rig.
