Re: [IRCA] Japan in New Jersey on 747

[Bill Harms <philcobill@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a snapshot of what I had.  The ECS on WinRad locked right on 
747.000. You can see a couple of traces in the 680's and the 690's. I 
think both of those were locally produced birdies, less sure about the 
693 one.

Give the fact that the carrier was so stable, I believe that with a better antenna and WSB nulled out sufficiently, that Japan could be heard in New Jersey. I also had slight traces on 693, 738, and 774 on the recording.

And, while  working on Cape Cod last month, I also noted the 747 carrier in the presunrise period after the Europeans were in daylight.  This was using an ALA100 with a 16m circumference loop, so as you say,  a better antenna might have brought something out.
