Re: [IRCA] 1359 khz HET/CARRIER
RE: Bruce, Tnx for the tip. I hastened to check 1359 and do a 9-kHz bandscan between 0540 and 0550 UT Feb 5. 1359 certainly stands out, and seems right on by pitch, so not a variant. However, it also gives a good DF bearing of NE/SW maybe a bit more, in the 45 to 50 degree range. A number of other carriers but all seem to be from about the same direxion (Europe/ME) despite `auroral` condx -- 1584, 1575, 1557, 1539, 1503, 1485, 1422, 1413, nothing midband, but also 783, 612, 594. All too weak to expect any audio. 73, Glenn Hauser, Enid OK Bruce and Glenn, That carrier on 1359 also heard here in the North Atlantic was in all evening long , I wondered what it was also as no readable signal ever developed.

Thanks, Russ. It's CBS news, as had the jingle. But CBN was a good idea. It is a graveyarder and likely not the same station. My money is also on WLJN in MI.

Saul DX wrote: Thanks, Scott. I was wondering about this. So would this truly constitute a new station / new log in your opinion? We're deep into judgment call territory here. On the one hand, the move from Chambersburg to Maugansville is fairly short in distance - about 14.75 km, if I have the coordinates of both sites correctly. And the move increased WHGT's day power, making it less of a challenge to receive. On the other hand, the move took WHGT across a state line, at least as far as COL is concerned (the new tx site remains in Pennsylvania), and if WHGT was operating with its new 58-watt night power (which sounds unlikely), that would be a much greater DX challenge than its old 1000-watt night facility. I don't think *I* would count it as a new station.

When I was finished at about 1800 EST...we had about 6-8 Inches more snow than when I started less than 2 Hours earlier!!! I haven't measured itor shoveled it yet...but it's gotta be at least that deep!! Guess I know what I'll be doing in the morning!! No use doing it now as it's still coming down!! At least I did get something for my troubles as I logged a NEW STATION (GraveYarder) on 1450 from Montreal!! It was in Arabic...and I was aware that there is also an Ethnic Station on 1450 from Cicero, ILLINOIS...which I have logged before. The mention of 1450 AM and a mention of MONTREAL convinced me it was CHOU in Montreal. But.I checked the Live Webfeeds for both Stations and found it was indeed CHOU. Cicero had Arabic as well.but it was an entirely different Program (Talk Show)...whereas CHOU had A Live DJ with Music and Calls from Listeners!!
