Re: [IRCA] TA season

["Bill Harms" <wharms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a local on 680, and Spain 684 is so strong that I can heard 
when WCBM (my local) is nulled out.  I don't understand why 1134 is 
not heard to the West. In fact Randy, your report is the furthest 
west I have seen.  They BOMB in here at times.  I understand about 
1130 Vancouver and there are a few others on 1130 in the west, but I 
think they would be possible, if you can get around this these 
stations.  Any ideas anyone?
