-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Many mornings in-state tropo is probably masking some of the Es
(1-db capture ratio on the TM-1001), especially with the increasing
encroachment of more and more semi-locals here.
A few good catches on June 21 when the local 105.3 and 107.5 had an
outage! Some more luck with the RDS for idents, but it'd be far more
productive if more US stations would utilize it. Some were come across
with it but no transmitted text! Having to switch the antenna between
the two receivers (via a BNC connector to the attenuator pad) hampered
things a bit. Also, the tape audio line is only to the TM-1001 so
there was always a risk of missing something with it. The Kenwood's
18 memories could be set for the "most likely" channels for quick
checking (but the lack of any fine tuning or an s-meter on it was a
definite drawback).
