Re: [IRCA] DX "lay of the land" from the Myrtke Beach area

     I don't dabble too much on the FM side of the dial so I can't comment there, but I do remember a few years ago having a blast on AM on the Outer Banks of NC. I know you'll be a little further south, but I can't think that things would be too much different. I hit Savannah, GA a couple of times a year and the DX is great there too. Bring something that will get LW and you'll enjoy that as well! Good luck and great DX!
