Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU's & new domestic logged, Aug 26

In general when lower band DU stuff is in, coastal CA and Mexican stuff
also comes in well. Maybe KFMB is a bit outta whack, but they've often come
in during these cx for a decade here in IL. Having XEES gone from the
channel is a help. Mark D often gets KTBA on 760 at SR from his central MN
cabin, but no trace ever here.
