Re: [IRCA] 1290 - KOWB, Laramie WY

[Brian Rachford <azswdxing@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Thanks!  I believe Gowdy still owned the stations while I was there.  As
far as anything farther north on 1290, nope, but I plan to keep working
roughly N-S on this freq as I feel like it.  I would hope to eventually
catch KGVO Missoula MT as they do have a lobe this way, but KOUU Pocatello
ID would have to be on day power and their strong null is pointed right
this way; their azimuth from here is exactly due north.  I also need to get
a solid ID on presumed XEAP which is just a bit east of due south, so they
can all show up (along with KCUB) in one loop orientation.
