Barry, the Perseus capture where that recording came from wasn't so impressive overall. But when propagation is favourable which was the case obviously especially for the higher part of the band and RTL is knocking in, be ready for some massive signal as the one you heard in the audio clip... I didn't made the test but I wouldn't be surprised that even one of the 100ft long wires that I use for phasing would have caught it. 1200 Kw is a *lot* of RF power.
