Re: [IRCA] Good eastern conditions

I did extensive listening this fall using a NW Phased BOG System. At night on 1220 is a mix of KDDR and CJRB with some KLBB also in there at time. I do think that KDDR leaves day power on into the evening for local sports,
as they can be really dominant then and clearly better than at other times at night, however, I am not able to prove it nor am I accusing them and note that there's not a huge difference between 1000 watts and 327.
