Re: [IRCA] Monday night LWBC, S. AZ
I'll need to talk to my neighbours about any equivalent here, hi. Are these Beverage antenna height, or higher? Thanks.

Re: [IRCA] Monday night LWBC, S. AZ
It's interesting that what happens on LW doesn't equate to the MW band. Propagationthere's so much we don't understand! 73, Walt On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 6:12 AM STEVE wrote: > LWBC got fairly decent later on this Monday evening.
