Re: [IRCA] Nearest locals



My nearest local is the dipole split of WREY 630/ WCTS 1030. With them being just about 3 miles SE, WREY has serious over/mod issues and WCTS'S 50kw day pwr makes these two the hardest to dx around.

My next closest is 900 KTIS, 1220 KLBB,  and daytimer 740 WDGY at about 10 miles away. None are an issue, especially at night.

The last one worth mentioning, is 1500 KSTP. Their daytime signal at 15 miles really chops up 1490 and 1510. At night though only 250 watts or so comes my way.
