Re: [IRCA] KCKQ

[Dennis Gibson <wb6tnb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nothing very exciting. I don't have any fancy antennas; just a couple of passive loops that I rarely use. The radio is a Grundig G4000A (newer than but identical to the very popular Yacht Boy 400) and the built in ferrite bar. KERN owns the frequency here except for an occasional fade. Do you think my UNID SS that very infrequently covers it is Rebelde? Time to consult my new WRTH.
