[IRCA] AM BCB LOGS…..3 NEW Stations from ELAD Recordings Yesterday……+ UNID

2015-04-17 Thread Robert Ross
Hi Guys:

I am having Fun logging NEW Stations on Frequencies that are adjacent to my 
Locals. Frequencies that were pretty much unusable due to slop from Locals, 
have now opened up thanks to the ELAD's Nice Filters!! Yesterday I logged 3 New 
Stations, all of which are relatively Low Powered! Even though conditions have 
remained quite Generic since I purchased the ELAD…….I am hearing some decent 
stuff! I can hardly wait for some Real Good Conditions! Plus, this Longwire I 
am currently using is not the Best Antenna for the ELAD, I need to get 
something quieter put up now that the nice weather has arrived here in CANADA!

Rob,

WMVA is in Virginia, not West Virginia.  It's also very close to the NC
state line so you might have another possibility or two to consider.

heard then

No. Before takeoff you're instructed to turn off all electronic devices. 
There's an extremely small chance that an AM/FM radio could cause interference 
to the navigation equipment.

I have flown across country with an ULR (provided by Gary Debock...) and
listened to FM "Coast to Coast" from 35 thousand feet...
Pretty interesting hearing so many stations from so many states in one day.
