[IRCA] Hash covers local KDPQ 800

2007-09-29 Thread vroomski
Good Evening: In the process of doing a nighttime band scan, when I got to 800 local KDPQ was covered in KGO hash. All 4 outdoor antennas with hash to some degree. Make a minute recording of the hash. The only way I could hear 820 KGMW in Seattle was with the Kiwa loop with KGO nulled.
