ReplyDeleteVery nice blog, thanks.
Picked it up on 11580 KHz at 2050 USA CDT in northern Wisconsin. As it was off an 12' indoor di-pole made of scraps, naturally I was quite pleased. Signal was 2 by 4 for a few minutes before dropping to 1 by 3.
ReplyDeletePicked up this station on 2-20-17 at 02:00 UTC on 14.920, using a 1937 Zenith 12-S-265 fed by a 100' long-wire antenna in Hillsboro, Oregon. SS variable, 3-5 out of 9.
