[IRCA] A phasing story. Greenland 720 logged in IL.



 A phasing story from last night. I live 12 miles NNW from WGN's xmtr. I
put down a 288 ft BOG at about 35 deg // a 177 ft one. Phase null of WGN
peaked at about 50 dB and it was down close to S6 on Perseus.  Sure enough
there's audio seeming // KNR webstream which was mostly talk. Then from
0104-8 a couple of bouncy tunes sung by females clinched it leaving me no
doubt. This using the Quantum Phaser which I think I'd like 2:1 or even 3:1
Vernier knobs for.

When I got Greenland at my WI DX paradise a decade ago, WGN and KNR were
about S7-8 using longer terminated BOGs. At 12 miles distance I have no
skywave to worry about.

I couldn't get Greenland on 650 where even though WSCR and WSM are close
together on the dial and in similar directions, WSCR IBOC crept up during
best null on WSM and visa-versa.

IBOC sucks but phasing ROCKS. Short BOGs aren't impressive 'til you phase
them to create good back nulls.   73 KAZ
