[IRCA] Oct 20 TP Victoria soufflé

2015-10-20 Thread coffee_canuck
What started as an optimistic opening at 1300 slumped as the morning wore on.. Had early errands so could only do a couple of band scans at 1300 and 1350. What seemed like a hopeful treat at 1300 with lots of 2nd tier audio flopped, it appears, within 40 minutes. Full analysis later. Colin

Point is taken, Neil. The Bog is about 300 deg while the DKAZ is aimed about 220 deg. So not exactly a perfect A B comparison. I noted the same years back using the twin Wellbrook arrays. Walt On Tuesday, 20 October 2015, neilkaz wrote: > Walt " DKAZ worked very well
