Re: [IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX...Sunset Skip....2 NEW ONES Tonight!!

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You've been doing quite well at Sunset Skip and especially with the ULR.

re WJOE 700 they can get out on day power quite well. I few years ago when 
they were WCAT (If I recall) they left day rig on for a few days and I 
nabbed them in IL and also WI.

Back at the end of Nov, I had them from WI before they switched power at 
their sunset. Nov and Dec can be wonderful for logging New Englanders via 
sunset skip and my BOGs aimed roughly ENE clobber WLW from WI.
