"but not impossible" is the phrase, Mike.  Years ago, Don
Moman, Mick Delmage and I were DXing at Pembina Forks (somewhat closer to
Calgary) and managed to phase two Beverages together to null Calgary on
660 down sufficiently to hear WNBC off the back of said
Beverages.

Unfortunately, this test was not as successfully heard here as WNBC was
all those years ago.  Just a few whoops and some code snippets
around 0012-0013 PST, mostly under, well, Calgary.  Splatter from my
local on 1070 didn't help either, and nulling it must have nulled KTNS
quite well also.

best wishes for Christmas to everybody,

Nick
