Re: [IRCA] KBOI DX Test?

["Bill Harms" <wharms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Les, of course, I fully undersand and appreciate the efforts you have 
been making on behalf of DXers. I also understand how hard it might 
be to coordinate something like this.  That said, I was just making a 
suggestion, and I think it might be worth a shot.  If it doesn't work 
out so be it.  Life goes on. Also keep in mind that Idaho is a bit of 
an exceptional case because it is a difficult state to hear on the 
east Coast.
