Re: [IRCA] Tips for TP reception EAST of the Rockies? (i.e. in Missouri)

[JPOGUE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I don't have any tips, but I know TP reception east of the Rockies is 
possible. Long ago (about 1975) DXer Tom McCormack in Lafayette, 
Indiana heard and QSLd 4QD and many other DU stations from his QTH 
there. I saw the QSLs so I know it was legit. BTW, does anyone know 
what ever happened to Tom? He was a phenomenal DXer active in both 
IRCA and NRC, with some amazing receptions and QSLs, all when he was 
less than 30 years old.
