Todd,
Yes I do also hear some AM under DIW. DIW is stronger here than CLB.
But it's half the distance so that's expected.
Seems like everyone has a R75 but me :) Guess I'll put that on my list
of things to get that I really don't need. Now that heating oil prices
are so high I'm saving so much more by heating with wood I can afford a
new radio! How's that for ham logic?
