Re: [IRCA] Greenland-720
I think it was 1978 or 1979 when I had a couple minutes of Xmas Carol from Thule 1425 fade up weakly hetted by 1424.7 which I think was a weak Ecudorian split. This on the SSW 1300 ft Bev in Narragansett RI. I suspect more of those near the coast will log 720 and 531. 73 KAZ

>Well, Thule-1425 was heard here in Mass in the late 60's/early 70's by Gordon Nelson & others. I was just never in the right place at the right time. But I'm sure you are correct that it is related to the Auroral Zone. I'm no expert but I guess The Zone has to be quite small in order to enable propagation from that latitude (Thule is at 77º40'22N) to the US (Boston is at 42º21'42N). Anyway, that window is open right now and we are enjoying it. Three of us here on Cape Cod have heard 720 during the past week and one, Roy Barstow in Falmouth, has heard Faroe Islands-531. I'm home sick from work today so I will try for 531 myself around local sunset.
