Re: [Swprograms] WBCQ Sked Notes

[Chris Campbell <ertkspickle@xxxxxxxxx>]

Will,

I live in Ohio but spend a lot of time on business in
Arizona on the border. I have a lot of trouble getting
7415 there with a Sony 7600gr with an AN-LP1 antenna.
I am out of a hotel room but have tried down by the
pool without success either. I was in El Paso last
week and had 7415 come in very well in the hotel. I
will try the 9330 when I return to Nogales tomorrow
and let you know!

Best Regards,
Chris
Columbus, Ohio
