Re: [IRCA] India 1566 reaffirmed by Adam Brower [more]

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We live in a wonderful world, but, in this case we have someone unknown to 
BCB DXers claiming an 8000 mile Trans Polar reception on the longest day of 
the year at 3:30 PM his time !! At least 6000 miles of the path is in broad 
daylight at that time.

Now we have 85+ years of BCB propagation experience which would state that 
such an occurance is simply not possible.

We also have, Adam, who certainly seems to be a nice gent and who lives 
about 67 miles SW of me. He has little BCB DXing experience and claims to 
have made this reception.

Now I will publically state that the earth is more likely to be hit by an 
extinction asteroid or comet than Adam is to have heard India on 1566 at 
3:30 PM in the summer from IL.

So what did he hear ? Maybe some weird spur ? Perhaps a pirate ? Who 
knows...and please note that he insists he heard something, and most likely 
did since I don't think he's lieing, but it certainly wasn't Nagpur on 1566.

73 KAZ with what will be my absolute last word on this matter (which should 
please some of you !)
