Re: [IRCA] KUTR/XEMVS-820

[Nigel Pimblett <ntp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,
   I suspect WBAP just got rarer up here, as KUTR has been coming in 
pretty consistently most evenings.  I haven't seen their pattern, but 
perhaps they're putting a good part of their signal up this way.   
Regarding the Elko weather station, I did hear it a couple of times 
earlier in the season, but not of late.  It wasn't a great winter for 
1610 TIS catches here, not much deep south propogation, and a new one in 
MT at Missouri Headwaters State Park was in consistently, which didn't 
help.   Enjoy your trip to AB & BC.   I'll be in BC next month for a 
couple of weeks,  on the Sunshine Coast and on Vancouver Island, so hope 
to do a little listening while I'm out there.   Might be the only way 
I'll hear CJAV before they go to FM!

73,

Nigel Pimblett
