Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?



Nothing else to add - in 40+ years of DXing, I've never picked up India over Japan in late August.

Anything is possible.

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.
