While driving home from a shopping trip I did a little car radio "dial
twisting" on AM and ran into a number of TA hets at 3:55 p.m. EST / 2055 UTC.
This is about a half hour before local sunset.
Biggest TA signal was BBC Five Live UK on 909. It was totally creaming 910
(WABK-ME mostly, bits of others including WLAT-CT under). The BBC audio came
through fine on peaks even though the car radio only tunes in 10 kHz
increments. The heterodyne was screamer-loud even during fades when some 910
audio emerged from the imbroglio.
Location: Route 6 at Exit 6 (Route 132) - Barnstable, MA.
I'm mentioning this mostly for propagation information. Certainly not rare DX.
Meanwhile at home the SDR was making a capture file 5 minutes later. Maybe
something good on that.
