Re: [IRCA] Alaska from the midwest?

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxx>]

Nome runs a TWEB voice broadcast for beacon FDV, which was heard at 
Grayland. Running a TWEB, the beacon ident itself is set to reduced 
modulation, thus is much harder to hear. Plus the Nome TWEB is parallel with 
the SQM TWEB, and both on the same 529 frequency.
