Driving home from Central IL last night there was
quite a few hets on the car rx including 999 (Spain sometimes audible at home)
bothering a poor WMVP somewhat. I switched over to 1180 for better reception of
the World Series and WHAM had an occasional 1179 het. Last night seems to have
been a "night of nights" for TA's getting inland, but at least here near Chicago
the cx for a few days around Xmas 1997 were MUCH better. One of those nights I
IDed RNE 531 in the car which means it had to be strong enough to clearly
override 530 RVC and 530 Chicago area TIS's. Also during that time Ireland 567,
Croatia 1134 and Norway 1314 were listenable in house on good portables.
Anyhow...later today I'll be putting in and testing
a temporary BOG for TA's. That direction suffers much line noise so hopefully it
won't be too noisy. I also hope my ground rod is still out there in that wet
area at my the NE corner of my land, so I can terminate it to knock down some
back end QRM.
