[IRCA] India to Illinois on 1566 ?

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Taking into account several of the comments on the lists, there are
some observations I'd make:

1) 13 degrees bearing ( presuming accuracy ) woould subject the
listener to more potential auroral absorption than a bearing closer to
zero

2) The program details provided are extremely general

3) The time of day, which also wasn't provided would be critical if
this were grey-line reception

4) There is no other propagation mode which could account for such a
reception other than perhaps long path. The time of year seems to
present a problem for a trans-polar path.

5) Depending on time of day again, there would/should be interference
from the TP.


While I believe that this reception certainly could occur under just
the right set of circumstances, I'm quite skeptical on balance that
this report actually occurred exactly as stated.
