Re: [IRCA] KNX HEARD IN SCOTLAND

Hi Pete and Paul;

Paul - congrats on a great catch.  I also wondered what the other
station(s) are that I *thought* that I heard in the background of the
recording.  Doubt if it was my local WFNI.  Their day 50 Kw rig points
about 80 percent of the signal SE and the other lobe SSW.  At night (10
Kw) it looks about 98% SE.  So nothing is really thrown Paul's way.  I
live 15 or so miles from their tower and at night, CHOK is always
bubbling just underneath them.

For the record - I have logged KNX once, during a brief (30 minute)
power outage effecting then WIBC's studio, in 1983 or so.

73,
Dave

That's a nice catch you got in Scotland! Not quite as big a deal but  
when my wife and I honeymooned in NZ in Nov. 1978, I picked up KNX  
and heard the election returns (Jerry Brown was elected as CA  
governor). Regardless of conditions, KNX is one of the most  
consistent So. Cal. stations here and I can't sense any signal  
strength deterioration because of IBOC. I wonder what the co-channel  
stations were on your recording; with no CBA to deal with, my guess  
would be WFNI. Also,  I note your location right on the coast on  
Google Earth. Are you right on the water and what is your antenna setup?
