Very surprising to pick this up here in Seattle. I've never heard anything on this frequency previously but tonight it has been very active with Dakar Radio working various flights. Propagation has been great the last couple of days at my location. for instance i pretty clearly heard KLM flight 706 which FlightAware showed over the Atlantic almost halfway between South America and Africa. also heard Speedbird (British Airways) 251 and Delta 200 while they were in the middle of the Atlantic.

Very nice! I loved tuning to 11300 for the North Africa flight controllers of several different countries, always a fun listen! They had madcap goings on quite frequently.
