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 !)
