[IRCA] Belated unusual loggings



North American DX-ers enjoyed a few weird DX nights about a week ago, so we set out a 140-ft D-Kaz to see whassup.

The brief loggings below reflect these notes from a 6 AM CDT SDR-catch on on 041615 :

1. NO Canadians! Normally about 50 percent of signals would have been Canadian stations.

2. Array pointed NNW from Central Minnesota but most signals were West and Southwest (High-latitude path skewing? Auroral?)

3. All signals had "fur" on the edges...a layer of sharp but minor impulse noise rode on each station. But interestingly, the noise floor on a vacant area (around 400 kHz) was below -110 dbm...quite normal.

4. There were a lot of mixes, where normally a lot of channels are monogamous.

5. I found some "new" stations (previously unlogged even after repeated tries under 'normal' conditions.)
