[IRCA] KSDN 930 Aberdeen, SD

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

250 watts ND from Aberdeen to Omaha is doubtful, BUT I have heard KSDN at night 
in the past with Twins baseball, and if their night pattern doesn't favor Omaha, 
then it's likely that they were going with the full 5 kw day rig at the time of 
reception.  Same case with KWAT-950. 


Paul, is it OK if I forward your original message onto the ABDX listserver?  
There's a guy on there who just happens to live in Aberdeen, and he might have 
even more details about this situation.

Thanks for that tip Paul. Even at 150 miles it's a rare hit here on the 
backside of their pattern.

Aberdeen being on the Missouri Basin might be heard at night as far as 
Omaha to the SSW if they go ND with 250W.
