Re: [IRCA] dx dead spots

[Pete Taylor <ptdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few years back, I left Brainerd, MN and drove counter-clockwise through North Dakota and then South Dakota toward Mpls. and couldn’t believe how well KFGO-790 got out. Years before that, while driving in Kansas, I remember WNAX-570 bangin’ in pretty well. Nice ground systems indeed...

My guess is it has something to do with the Port Silt Loam (Red Dirt) that cover much of Oklahoma.  It’s a significant enough feature of the region to have been named the official state soil.
