Re: [HCDX] 4755.44 Micronesia log
For DX integrity, I would like to raise the probability that my Jan 6 presumed logging of Micronesia, could very well have been the high side of 4755v R. Imaculado Conceicao-Campo Grande, Brazil. Today, during the same time frame, I had a signal featuring Portuguese religious talk mx, with a fade out pattern very similar to my Micronesia log. Tuned up to 4775.4v and the sig was audible there. Geo-Clock also shows Campo Grande well into sunrise by 0935+. Obviously, this needs more work on my end. 73, Scott R. Barbour Jr. Intervale, N.H.
