Re: [IRCA] West Michigan eclipse report

This hillside DXing venue continued to amaze this morning, providing seriously enhanced signals from all across Australia. Even on a modest 8" FSL antenna the extremely long-range 558-6WA in Wagin (over 9,000 miles) reached the strongest level ever for me (between S7 and S9, before Fiji pushed
