Re: [IRCA] Is it possible?

Bruce,

Tnx for the tip. I hastened to check 1359 and do a 9-kHz bandscan between 0540 and 0550 UT Feb 5.

1359 certainly stands out, and seems right on by pitch, so not a variant. However, it also gives a good DF bearing of NE/SW maybe a bit more, in the 45 to 50 degree range.

A number of other carriers but all seem to be from about the same direxion (Europe/ME) despite `auroral` condx -- 1584, 1575, 1557, 1539, 1503, 1485, 1422, 1413, nothing midband, but also 783, 612, 594.

All too weak to expect any audio.

73, Glenn Hauser, Enid OK
