AW: [HCDX] 1377 China hrd in Brazil

[Günter Lorenz <glorenz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<<First time for China on medium wave in Brazil. The 1377 kHz Henan 
<<province CNR station was heard yesterday Oct 9, at 21,00-21,35 UTC 
<<during a dx-pedition in Ilha Comprida, South Brazil, 300 km SW of Sao 
<<Paulo. Probably we enjoyed a rare long path via South Pole (China is 
<<some 18,000 km away) due to very low magnetic activity these days 
<<The location was a car on the beach, with a AOR 7030 + 150 long wire on 
<<ground pointed to E-SE, phased with a 30mt wire via the Quantum Phaser.

Compliments to this excellent log, Rocco!

Interestingly, the signal on 1377 was heard at a similar times in Central
Europe. I noted it on Sept 30 from 21:30 to 21:50 UTC. Looking at a Great
Circle Map produced with W6EL software, I doubt the long path theory.
Distance on the short path is approx 17.000 km, all in darkness (64
degrees), while long path (244 degrees) is in daylight.

Good DX and73,
