Re: [IRCA] Monday night LWBC, S. AZ

[STEVE <ratzlaffsteve@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 700' N/S longwire and a 900' E/W longwire that are my primary 
antennas. I get more local AC noise on the E/W wire and even though most 
LWBC is stronger on the E/W, the N/S wire has less noise and better 
overall S/N. When I lived in northeast Oregon I also had longwire 
antennas and would get LWBC; being much farther south here in AZ I never 
really expected to get much, and have been very pleased with what's been 
heard, especially this season. Several instances of 252 Algeria at 
"armchair copy" in AM sync mode, where normally the NDBs cause strong 
hets from the carriers, and the NDB idents themselves create 
"interference". (And I'm primarily an NDB DXer, but do like to hear any 
LWBC coming my way!)
