Re: [IRCA] Logging a complete state
Willis,
It WAS easier in the sixties to hear stations at a distance, especially
daytime. From West Sacramento, using only a 75' longwire I could hear
the 250 watter from Bakersfield daily with a decent signal on 800 kHz &
the 1 kw from Bakersfield on 550 easily. The noise level was so much
less, with TV being the worst offender. Oh to have that problem now :-) .

Hi Don-
When I was stationed on Treasure Island, back in the mid 60's, I
logged most of the bay area and central California stations. All with
a portable radio. Seems as if it was easier back then, not sure if it
was because I was younger or there wasn't as many stations on the air.

5-6 years ago when I was still quite active on AM and my noise
problems had not reached their current horrible level, I had reduced
my needed Californians to 12. Considering how many stations there
are in the state I felt pretty good about that. However, that figure
has risen considerably since then. I did have all of Nevada heard
but they've added a bunch of stations since then as well. Back in
the 50s dxing from NW Iowa I had all of the then broadcasting AM
stations in the state EXCEPT KMPC in Muscatine on 860.
