10680km holy shit! Nice one.
Thanks!
This was grabbed from a recording in SDR Console. I record 2 Gig 44 minute long files. I use a program called Pskov which leverages the fact that NDB are time repetitive. The code will do auto correlation on a given offset and present the results to the user. It does a great job of detecting NDBs which are near the noise floor. Here is the cap from that reception:

Holy found it on the bottom of the map, Batman !!! That has to be some kind of DX world record ! 8)

I have seen many longer distance logs, but this is admittedly a fur piece. Landlocked Chicago does not benefit greatly from any water paths with the exception of the west coast of SA, and that helped a bunch here. IIRC the listed power of NAS is 1 kW, which does not hurt a bit.

Feb 15-16 and 16-17 were fairly good in DGPS Land. Processing last night's IQ files now, it does not look encouraging so far (0400z).
-
From an NDB viewpoint, the 16th and 17th were very good. The 16th had props to deep into BRA which is very difficult from Chicago, and the 17th had some of the strongest props from NU I have ever seen. The numbers from last nite did not look encouraging, but I am going thru the recording now and I note strong props from northern BRA and good props from the PAC after 0800. Logs later...
A couple of ALS also.

DA is at this point still unknown and has been heard in NS, IL, and TX in that order in the last week. It is believed to be a beacon at the Calcanhar Lighthouse near Natal, BRA. Local BRA DXers are working to verify this via close in listenening and email to the responsible agency.

Got a chance to do some longwave listening over the weekend and heard some of the usual Canadian beacons:
FD, RL, YYW, MO, YTL, QT, YLD, YY, YXL, YKQ, QG, ZHU, SN.
However, was greeted mostly with poor propagation and wall to wall T-storm static.
Surprisingly, 415 CBC Cayman Brac CYM and 198 DIW Dixon NC had good sigs in here,
otherwise nothing heard to the South.
So, gonna say winter longwave season is over for me at this QTH.

Logs from Downers Grove, Illinois
I had been hoping for enough free time this spring to do a final review of recordings from last season based on notes I had jotted down in the log book. I guess you have to be careful for what you ask for...
These are the final logs from the Winter season, and represent a deep dive into files. In retrospect, it was a truly amazing season. I was able to learn a couple of lessons, and I had a couple of assumptions on my part torn to shreds.
First, capture of European and African TAs is possible in the USA midsection. TAs were noted in the first week of December, January, and February. While the vast majority of these could only be regarded as tentative logs, a handful were solidly IDed, and could be considered as solid logs. An apparent monthly periodicity is definitely something to keep in mind next season.
Secondly, I had been reading the logs of listeners on the west coast and in the southwest who routinely log NDBs from the Pacific and I had assumed that reception here in the central USA was not possible. Not true. It took a ton of searching and digging but I was able over time to obtain definite logs for about 17 of these. Again, the DX juices are already flowing and their are still a large number of targets in the crosshairs for next season.
