Re: [IRCA] Germany 756

["Kevin S" <satya@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here in Seattle, it is also an occasional visitor.  The same audio
programming is also transmitted on 1269, and very occasionally I can get a
parallel confirmation of the two. They were pretty good in November and a
little bit into December.

I agree with Gary - a good antenna is required.  My 9x10 foot indoor super
loop, pointed north and away from the domestic noise, gets these OK, while
my roof-mounted active whip is simply too overwhelmed with its
omnidirectional pattern and inherently noisier approach to life.
