Three Alaska stations, all bearing within a few degrees and at different distances (but not too large of distances). The two furthest had better propagation than the closest (Annette Island). And with the separation of the decodes on that one, our traditional method of guessing probability of valid decodes says its probably not valid, however, at 08:06:41 is right in line with when Biorka was coming in and not too many minutes away from Level Island. So at least one, more than likely two (07:58:29) decodes are probably valid.

There are several factors that are unknown here across all three:
- EIRP (transmitter power & antenna gain)
- Transmission pattern
- Ground conductivity in the area

Without knowing those, this looks less interesting. But if the three stations were all equal in those respects, this would be absolutely fascinating.

Very interesting!

Yes, in this case I would put high confidence in Annette Island being valid, or at least some of them, since it is in the right general time period. Two of the decodes are much later though. Not sure what that means (if anything).

GTN blasts away on 323 kHz here from nearby DC, so little chance of me ever hearing it.
