Re: [IRCA] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

Les:

The bearing to the station should be 90 degrees from the null. Example: if the null is north/south, the station bearing is east/west which is 90 degrees from the null.

Then do some quick calculations to determine the bearings to the station which will be 180 degrees from the deepest null point.
