Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-11

[Mike Irizarry <michael.irizarry29@xxxxxxxxx>]

I finally hooked up with Neil "Kaz" this weekend. Neil was kind enough to
help me fix a couple of antennas that got beat up with high winds Sunday
(beverage and pennant). We were able to snag KNTS 1680 out of Seattle
phasing a K9AY and a pennant through a NCC-1 phase box during Seattle
sunset. Phasing the two allowed us to drop a nice null on KRJO out of
Louisianna. As a newbie to medium wave dxing, Neil was kind enough to share
some tips on how to better use my radio shack (predominately amateur radio)
to work medium wave. Thanks Neil!
