Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] WBOK 1230 New Orleans logged in IL tonight

[neilkaz <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thx everyone. The NRC GY DX record here is held by John Rieger from WI.  http://www.nrcdxas.org/GYDXA/1230b.html I think he logged it a couple of years ago, perhaps in AU cx. 

Cx were semi-AU here in IL two nights ago, but less so last night.

I'd hoped to find more new from near N.O. in that part of the band, but there's nothing on my recording.

73 KAZ

>> Well I am happy that yesterday I finally finished fixing up my south DKAZ antenna. Today's 6 pm CST recording has a couple minutes of WBOK basically atop 1230! There's a Bayou Classic report and local ads and a city of New Orleans ment by an accented gal. At about 840 miles this is my second most distant GY from here in the midwest.
