Re: [IRCA] 1400 Graveyard listening for the newbie

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

Steve, welcome to graveyard dxing!   You did fantastic in 3 days..I 
checked and see I have 23 stations heard on 1400 kHz (not counting the 
myriad call changes).  But this from 1957 to now.  Most were back before 
1990.  I have a local over in Berkeley which is very hard to null (when 
I can hear anything thru the HNL).  Hearing Minnesota is quite a feat.  
I think my furthest on a GY were El Paso on 1340 & Casper on 1400...Nice 
dxing.

Don K.
