Default Fantastic BCB Catch Tonight

I copied WGBB 1240AM at 1:45am

From the info I gathered this station tx just 1,000 watts. :-)

I was using my GE P-780 with a loop made by D.Schmarder {sp} on my
lazy susan but I didn't fully copy the signal completely till I sat my
Radio Shack loop on the opposite side and tuned a little off the sweet
spot and then barely touched my bigger Penta-Loop and there it was
with nothing else in there.

I listened for almost ten minutes and then decided to call the radio
station and let them know and the guy got a kick out of it and gave me
a "shot out" on the radio when he went back on the air.

Pretty exciting and not bad for the old GE P-780, my modded DX394
hooked up to my AD DX Sloper couldn't even copy it. I hear another
station trying to get in there so I think I'm going to keep it parked
right here and see as the night goes on if another station pops in.
Thanks Brenda Ann:-)


From where? Graveyard channels are a very special kind of BCBDX. It
takes a lot of skill and patience.
