[Brian Rachford <azswdxing@xxxxxxxxx>]

Recent catches (generally domestic and Mexican) with a 6-foot-diagonal
wood-frame tuned loop, RTL-SDR dongle, and Ham It Up upconverter from the
back patio.  All dates local, times MST and UT, all distances from home to
transmitter via Haversine formula, logging started here August 15th, 2014.

[Mexican clear channel station, got the webcast match and "Radio Esperanza"
slogan several times, but KGEM out of Idaho came over at the 7pm TOH.  I
kept recording while I was doing other things, but didn't get a call at the
8pm TOH.  Only second log out of Nuevo Leon.]
