Re: [IRCA] WFLI-1070

Anyone who buys this old rotting RF heap of a radio station has more dollars then sense. The cost of improvements and monthly operating expenses would make this a losing proposition from the get-go, unless you have another business that can absorb the costs. This place needs some serious upgrades.

Last night seemed to be pretty good conditions so I set up the SDR to record overnight. I noted Morocco 171 in Algeria 252 and also very weak BBC on 198. We'll see what popped in and out through the night, later.  Note to Stan Horzeppa - the standard channel assignment would be 243 khz.
