Re: [IRCA] 594 India into central USA?

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

The end of August can be a strange and interesting time for 
transpolar signals.  There were TA carriers in western Canada a 
couple of nights ago after quite a short period of quiet 
conditions.  Unfortunately, the 29th was the one morning my SDR 
recordings failed, but the signal strength monitor recording looked 
lively, and this morning  (30th) showed the first signs of mainland 
China this season as geomagnetic conditions worsened.    At 1320UT 
when we had our grayline to India, JOAK ruled the roost, no 
argument.   There were two other carriers as well as JOAK 
however....0.4 and 0.6 lower, 0.9 and 1.9Hz higher, plus a couple of 
others, and some got within 10dB or so of JOAK (briefly).

So, I won't join the naysayers on this.   I would encourage other 
DXers in the central part of the continent to hunt for this at that 
time, though likely it will have to wait until the current 
geomagnetic upset works itself out.   Once we're right into the thick 
of the season, I suspect chances will become slimmer, as arctic 
conditions become more "normal".

best wishes,

Nick
