Topband: Testing RX Antennas "Out of Season"

[jon jones]

GM Eric and Goose:

Using the expanded AM BCB to test and optimize your 160M receive antenna is 
a great idea. I used it at HC8N a few years ago (could receive many USA 
stations on the NA Beverage).

A list of expanded AM band stations:    http://www.am-dx.com/fcclist.htm

During the day one of the "low power AM stations" may be useful in adjusting 
your antennas.
