The het on 1359 was also very prominent here too. WMOB 1360 which is normally good copy was also quite strong this evening..
Tom Jasinski Joliet, IL ------------------------- Original Message ------------------------- Subject: [NRC-AM] Is it possible? From: "Bruce Winkelman" <bdw...@cox.net> ------- While listening to 1360 at 0441UTC 05FEB11 (2241 CST 04FEB11) I noted a weak het/tone on frequency. Tuning down, I zero beat the het to 1359. A quick check on line shows 1359 has a NIGERIAN station that has a s/on at 0430UTC. Hmmm... Checking some other 9kHz spacing frequencies between 0445UTC and 0500UTC, I found other hets that zero beat at 1377, 1305 and 1296. 1305 has an EGYPTIAN station (only 10kw!) listed and 1296 has a SUDAN station (listed at 600kw). Both Egypt and Sudan are near the SR terminator at this time. Is it possible, given the somewhat auroral conditions following a G1 storm, that I indeed had carriers from Egypt, Sudan (even tho they are on a 55-60 degree bearing from Tulsa) and Nigeria (in a full darkness path at about 90 degrees)?? Or am I "hearing things"? Hmmm.....
