Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] DX Tests update - PLEASE GIVE WIDEST POSSIBLE DISSEMINATION
Any chance they could run night power and day pattern for a few minutes, or better yet non-directional on day pattern for a few minutes during the test? They have a deep null almost right toward me in southern California, and I have a semi-local Mexican on 1550, XEBG, which will make it almost impossible if they just use day pattern with day power. :(
