Re: [IRCA] An even longer graveyard reception?

I'll listen when I get home. If this is coming from E-NE of you like that nice catch KODY was, it is probably something that I can get here on 1340 and I might recognize the ID if it is mushy from cadence or ancr's voice etc. I also might have it recorded. 

Yes, station density is considerably less out west on GY's. As your cardioid array can certainly get rid Calif. pests you may find more distant one hop stuff (assuming my understanding of propagation they are 1 hop). Another thing that is a huge help for GY's is not having any ground wave signals on the channel. This is a big issue here in the midwest with our good ground conductivity. ie when it is very AU and there's no skip, I still can get GY pests weakly from 200 miles away via groundwave. This means that the far southern DX has this QRM to contend with.
