[HCDX] 10/22/ 2005 - Bad night in Brooklyn

[mikey_n@xxxxxxxxxxx]

In Brooklyn apartment with modified IC-R75 and 20' wire strung around my
living room:

Last night conditions here in Brooklyn were really bad - I think there
were electrical storms out there, I actually heard some thunder here
late in the evening and the local blasters also seemed to be  splashing
everywhere for some reason. I checked 1140 a few times during the
evening to see if I could snag WRVA and it was very rough going.
Finally around 2 AM I managed to get something that was sometimes
audible between the splashes from WBBR on 1130 and I heard '1140 Fox
News Radio' - which is what WRVA call themselves. I was too tired to
sit on it any more and see if I could get the call letters, so it's not
in the log. (I am going to put this up in a report) 

Any one else out there find Sat night, 10/22,  to be very poor???

For those who aren't familiar with it: Great link for BCB DX detective
work: http://www.findradio.us - you can put in a frequency and a
distance range from your location and get back all the candidates. I
don't rely on that only for an ID, but it gives me an idea of what I
might be dealing with and how much effort it is worth to sit on
something, etc. And they link to a map with satellite pictures too.
