Re: [IRCA] domestic dx



--- Begin Message ---
Nick,
In the early 80's? China was heard often in the SF Bay Area during the fall season. A NRC 4' foot loop worked well in my 1 bedroom apartment in Albany, CA. At work one morning around 5:00 AM, I placed a RCA Super Radio against a vertical steel I-beam and China 1040 was heard. Those I-beams made great antennas in the warehouse. How a I can tune 1040 and hear China International on KXPD Portland, OR.ÂÂBest regards,
Dennis Vroom,

Back in the '60s, the Asian and Australian DX was still on the 10 kHz 
channels, but there were also still clear channels, so domestic 
interference was not a big issue on a number of frequencies.

I think the only one I heard then was China on 1040, but at least in 
IRCA, DXers in California, and I think Seattle, heard others, using 
just air core loop antennas, and big iron communication receivers.

best wishes,

Nick
