[IRCA] 1566 yet again.

2010-07-20 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Just a faint carrier on 1566.000 tonight in Victoria , at 0505UT, with not very much Doppler smearing. Interestingly, I was up on Cortes Island again this past weekend, and a 50' circumference ALA100 was able to hear the carrier there, so I tried a 1000' Beverage, not so much on the ground, as
