That pretty much reinforces what I've done.  Both KFQD and KENI are high
power stations in the more southerly part of the state and not blocked or
annoyed excessively by my locals.  Of the two, KFQD is the better bet due to
adjacent splatter.

I have had a project for the past two years.  It's best explained by this
article.  http://www.am-dx.com/geo_alas.htm

I run a Total Recorder session across the pre-daybreak period, maybe 45
minutes.  Then I burn the MP3 to a CD and do the first listen in the truck
on my way to various clients.  It's free time anyhow, so I use it as TiVo
type DXing.  The MP3 ability of the Blaupunkt comes in handy.

Next year I will make a better antenna array to try to null WSB and
Venezuela.  At the dawn hour, Newfoundland is not a problem.
