Re: [IRCA] WXYG-540 Sauk Rapids, MN back on air

[George Sherman <georgesmn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just checked it, still on. With the Eton E1 & 8" Quantum loop amplifier turned way down, a barely detectable S-3. Turned the amplifier up to max it's a mostly readable S-9+20 (noise problem). They gave a dual city ID. Couldn't understand the other one! Did get their slogan "The G". I guess I am 55 to 70 mi SE of them. 73, George S., MN
