[IRCA] 1st TAs with new radio

[Stan Horzepa <stanzepa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Recorded the 0500 UTC top-of-hour Sunday morning and upon playback, I 
was very surprised to hear my first transatlantics with my "new" radio:

- France Inter from Allouis, France, on 162 kHz, 1000 kW over 3585 miles

- Radio Mediterranee Internationale from Nador, Morocco, on 171 kHz, 
1600 kW over 3712 miles

- BBC 4 from Droitwich, on 198 kHz., 200 kW over 3278 miles

- RTE Radio i from Clarkstown, Ireland, on 252 kHz, 300 kW over 3096 miles

- AY (navigational beacon) from St. Anthony, Newfoundland, on 356 kHz, 
25 watts over 1043 miles

- Also heard a carrier on 153 kHz; likely suspect is Antena Satelor in 
Brasov, Romania, 200 kW over 4598 miles

Equipment used was an ELAD FDM-S2 with an 80-meter inverted Vee.
