[IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Monday 8/22

[Steve Ratzlaff <ratzlaffsteve@xxxxxxxxx>]

I listen most mornings with the new 140' W DKAZ but conditions have been 
poor lately; I don't report hets or faint traces of audio.

This morning was a little better.

I strung a 1100' E/W longwire last week but found it picked up high 
levels of AC noise from a parallel powerline some short distance away 
(30-40')and was completely useless for weak signals--I took it down 
today. It was worth a try as I had no idea how much, if any, a parallel 
powerline might couple to the longwire. Now I know! I'll eventually try 
another location that's much farther away from the powerline and hope 
for better results.
