[IRCA] het from possible Wyo this evening

["Bob Foxworth" <rfoxwor1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, driving over to ham radio club meeting
this evening (in Tampa FL) around 2315z,
1815 EST, checking 1630 for the reported Wyo
operation about 100 Hz low. There was indeed a
noticeable low het for about 2 minutes, loud
enough to create pronounced garble on the
dominant WRDW Augusta, with 2 or maybe 3
other audios underneath. By 1820 it was
completely faded out (I did not hear any sharp
dropoff). Maybe a trace at 1825 but after that,
nothing except the loud Augusta and one under.

I am thinking this is quite close to LSS out there.
If I had a good sharp rx and a BOG this would
have yielded audio, but on a Delco car radio,
the tuning options are limited. And an off freq
signal will make a het at maybe 20 dB less than
needed for audio.

CX seemed decent, fair WLS 890 under the Cuban,
and WHO poking through local on 1040, and
a question as to whether evening or morning is
the optimum shot for this. Others around here
have pulled some audio already, but in morning.

Any word on their exact powerdown time in Dec?

Fond memories of the Colo Dizzy on 1690
when there were just 2 signals there a
couple of years ago, at winter sunset.

Ran into Pete KZ1Z tonight and a nice chat.
