KILLER SIGNAL! VOA 9775khz 0300UTC Thu Jan 19 In Alaska

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

This is Voice of America on 9775kHz via Botswana to N. Africa, beamed at 340 deg. azimuth in the 0300UTC hour Jan 19th. Look at that killer signal and massively low noise floor!
 
Well, here's a look at why it's so good..... follow the 340 deg. az line.. where does it go? within a few hundred miles east of me and as one engineer put it, it's probably a pretty wide beam... and a few hundred miles in HF isnt much.

Plus, it's probably a bit enhanced as it travels because it comes real close to or goes over the pole.

This is why I get excited about HF DX... way outside the target area, yet in exactly the right place for a killer signal!!

Not a Killer Signal tonite but a solid one with VOA English service to Africa via Botswana with numerous hosts discussing the recent US elections.
