Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] Logs from N.E. MN 10-14-2008

Fun stuff.  I am glad that we compared loggings from the far west a couple seasons ago as I think it helps us both. When I DX the lower channels to the west I now use a Phased BOGs 935 // 600 ft at 272 degrees. The 600 footer is terminated to some extent, but the 935 footer is not as it runs to the far edge of my neighbor's property.  I start by phase nulling local WIND which is to 139 deg from here and this does a good job of killing all low end back end QRM. I DX mostly in the evenings as in the mornings I am pressed for time to get to work (but can spend 15 min sometimes) and on 560 KLZ is often heard o/u WIND phase null but KMON can also come in (esp around sunrise). 570 KVI was IDed for the 2nd time this season backgrounding WNAX but beware that KNRS can also come in and also is talk. 

On 580 KIDO's back lobe puts more signal towards you than me and I have not managed to catch them but still try. WIBW is bothersome on 580 here at night to put it mildly. One early morning, I think two seasons previous, I did have KUBC all alone on 580 for about 10 minutes before they faded away. On good low band nights I presume that their C&W is in there weakly on 580 but haven't noted it yet this season.  On 590 I still try for Spokane, but Omaha's sports is nasty.  

I good indicator for this low band W/WNW stuff is KRAI from CO and their C&W can be noted.
