Re: [IRCA] [dxld] Re: 594 India into central USA?

It's not uncommon to have a skewed path for stuff skirting the auroral zone. 
With Tokyo at 318, it wouldn't take much skewing to result in your 355 degree 
reading. I consider that much, much, much more likely than India 594.

I hadn`t yet seen Chuck Hutton`s comment about skewed path. But I just had 774 from Japan not skewed, so would not expect 594 to be.

Of course I am not claiming anything definite, but I think this is a fascinating possibility others in mid-America perhaps with greater gain should check out.

 I would normally defer to the expertise of the
 Pacific Northeast MW DXers on this, but you seem to be
 ignoring the factors I am basing this on --- DF from the
 north, the existence of a grayline path at this hour, and a
 megawatt to start with. I was getting 774 Japan carrier
 about the same time at its usual northwest DF, and 594 was
 definitely not the same direxion. A transpolar grayline from
 India would not apply to your location. I hope other DXers
 in central North America will give this a try just before
 local sunrise. I am not likely to be able to pull any audio.
 Language at that time is Bangla/Bengali. A simple DX-398 is
 handy for DFing vs big fixed antennas.
 
 
 
 73, Glenn Hauser, OK

  Unless
 
  you heard some distinctive music or established a
 parallel
 
  or online stream,I'd say with 99%
 
  certainty that you were tuning in Japan.
 
  India is indeed possible on the West Coast --
 
  with better than average antennasand receivers
 
  and ideal conditions.
 
  We are currently at a medium low point in the DX
 
  season which "should" turn aroundin the
 
  next 2 - 3 weeks if past experience is any
 
  guide.Â
