Re: [IRCA] Alberta DU for 27 July 2013

[Derek Vincent <eargazimm@xxxxxxxxx>]

The X band was the best it's been this season hear with two stations on 1701khz... 

I need to be at the DX funnel (rock work 4) 

DX is like a disco ball in a room with a mirrored celling and the TX is the spot light. You just never know sometimes. 

Thanks

The only additional (very feeble) audio I discovered was on 1575 and 1683.24 (presumably Radio Club AM).    Definitely a "Tale of Two Bands" here,  with the X-band having its 2nd best day of the month, with the 18th still being #1.
