Hi All: I'm not sure what to think of this....

I have been experimenting with IF shifting my radio to get WG2XJM very strong signal 10 to 13 dB down the IF bandpass

curve to improve weak signal reception of other stations when Eric is transmitting.  Odd sunset partial captures appear

to be transatlantic, but I am not sure about reality with this data. My EWE antenna was configured to favor a SE direction, but with

120 degree 3dB beam width pattern it covers the NE as well.   Long distance transition zone propagation is a possibility, but I

would be hesitant to claim it not having received correct grid square information......
