Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 594 India into central USA?

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

I remember way back in 1969, living in Northern NJ, using a Hammarlund
HQ-100 ( single conversion ) and a
short wire antenna from about 30 miles west of NYC. Tuning around one
evening I noted a het on 1421. I played with it a bit and got audio. In
German. Back then Saar was on 1421. Thought I had my first TA.  In a
roundabout way, I did, because it was almost certainly some sort of an
image from SW. What are the odds ???
