Re: [IRCA] Equipment Test Tonight on WABV-AM 1590 Abbeville, South Carolina

C'mon Paul, the least you can do for your fellow DXers is to blow something 
up, electrocute someone, endure the unforgiving wrath of the FCC and your 
employer. Whatever it takes to go full power and make your fellow DXers 
happy.

;-)

Well, I'll give 'er a try anyhow, though I have three locals less than a 
mile away in the upper part of the band, which makes 1400-1640 here in 
downtown Toronto pretty much a write-off. Wish I was at Burnt River ON site 
for this one...
