Re: [IRCA] WBBM-780

Here in IL, this is the Storm of the Century. I've not seen wind and snow like this for many years..ie just like a New England Nor-Easter. Perhaps WBBM facilities have been damaged?

Anyhow when WBBM would go off, I could on east-west antennas NS would usually be above Reno and Sedona would also be in there. Of course the NS C&W stn is now gone. Monclova Mexico could be had on antennas aiming that way, and R.Coro from Venezuela wasn't hard if aiming SE.

73 KAZ (13 miles NNW of WBBM) expecting 50+ cm of snow and allready having meter+ drifts.
