It's the ether, Colin! Seriously, though, I have a lot more trouble with 531 than you do. When you were hearing Cuba the other night, all I could hear was the TIS in Olympic National Park on any of my antennae....and you know I have quite a few to choose from. 1566 is always a good one for me. I usually get great modulation, to be honest, and haven't noticed them being down that way, at least not for the past few weeks. Is it your antenna? I know the ALA is a hot performer on LW and the lower MW band, so perhaps that's it. Mine seem to favour a little higher. ....Walt. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
