Re: [IRCA] RFI versus QRM and TVI too!

["WD9INP/4" <WD9INP@xxxxxxx>]

Bob,

It so happens I'm pretty familiar with PG&E's distribution system, being 
that its service area ended at about 2 miles south of Delano and was fed 
from Wasco. Delano (VOA Delano) is SCE territory.

Describe the nature of your noise, and maybe we can walk you through. Which 
town are you in? (I should remember, being
native CA and having been out there 2001-2003 at VOA Delano).

Dang it. It really should be called Radio Martí Delano because most of 
Delano's hours are from Martí, and from substituting
for transmitters in Greenville when they break down and can't get another 
one to work on that frequency or the others are already on the air. Most of 
my salary was paid by Martí.
