Re: [IRCA] Waiting for the sky to fall...

When i lived in Colchester, CT(SE Connecticut, in NW New London County), the
New York AM's came in horrible.

I was about 40 to 45 miles inland.

However, when I was in Hyannis/Osterville, Massachusetts (Cape Cod) one
summer, 710 and 770 came in SO STRONG that they splattered on adjacent
channels.

I also got 710 and 770 better in Marks, MS(NW Corner) then I did in
Connecticut
