You're in South Africa, John? (My newsreader snips off sigs in replies.) That's pretty damn good. 58 watts isn't a whole lot of power. It's amazing what you can hear when the conditions are just right. I once heard the 5th harmonic of a Chinese domestic shortwave station on 25250. (5050 x 5). It was grey line reception in the morning a few summers ago. This was when the solar flux was much higher than now. I figure the power of that harmonic was less than 100-watts. The propagation path was about 10K-miles. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
