[NJARC] DX question

[Scott Wynn]

Hi everyone,

Scott Wynn here, first time newbie in the  DXing contest. Thanks for all the reports on your progress. I was out in Northport, Long Island over the weekend and was able to pick up quite a few signals from 700 or miles away. KMOX St. Louis, WSB Atlanta, WSM Nashville, WLW Cincinnati and maybe a few others. A lot of signals from closer distances, one I didn't see on the list that I picked up was 1370 WFEA Manchester, NH. I guess maybe the conditions out here are ideal? (flat terrain, no tall buildings, near the LI sound). Sometime this week I'm going to try this in the city, but I would imagine that the results won't be the same.

Happy DXing!
