Re: [IRCA] The expanded band turns 15

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

My expanded band story points out how capable the MW band can be, if 
only there wasn't any interference between us and the target station...

1620 was a clear channel prior to expanded band assignments, and 
there was  a period where a station from Argentina was creeping 
through, even in Victoria.  Others had ID'd it, but I hadn't, just a 
weak SS talker for me, but I kept trying.   Then Atmore, AL signed 
on,  and it was relatively huge here (though perhaps not as huge as 
Seattle is now), and that sent my hopes for an Argentinian ID down 
the tubes!  Even when it faded down, it just destroyed the channel 
for "real" DX.  Now of course, Alabama would be real DX on 1620 
(especially as it isn't there anymore, hi)

best wishes,

Nick
