Re: [IRCA] Longwave tonight (1/23)

[kj8o@xxxxxxxxxx]

Congratulations Chris, yes I agree that it was a banner evening on longwave. 
I heard six stations tonight and prior to tonight, I had never heard any on 
any of my radios. The first one was at about 0300 on 252 kHz and I kept 
hearing music and talking. Finally at about 0430, I started with 151, 162, 
171, 183 and then your tip about 216. Certainly, a very memorable night.
