Re: [IRCA] KOHI-1600's Underwhelming Signal

[The Kaskey Family <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dennis,

I have no doubts that west coast dxers have heard KOHI from time to time but my contention was with "a regular listener in Arizona"....No way.  KOHI is and always has been tough dx.  I have
never heard them from Northern California but I know some fellows down here who have.  But it was just luck or a test, never regularly.  On the other hand during the winter the dxers in
Northern Europe have a good shot at KOHI (And most everything else :-)....
