Re: [IRCA] What's the best Receiver and Antenna?

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce,

The half of the year that I DX in Washington state, My antennas are 
20 unobstructed sea miles or less from all of the Vancouver 50 kw 
flamethrowers.  Using a 100 x 20 KAZ antenna, I had no problems at 
all.  With a 65' x 100' EWE pointed nearly at the Vancouver stations 
this summer, I had overloads, primarily from 650 CISL (over S-9+50 
dB.)  The 313 has an 18 db attenuator that totally solved that and 
still allowed very weak DX through.  I don't think that the 303 has 
the attenuator.
