The 183 kHz was very strong but not in the clear. I could not determine if there was another BC signal on the frequency or if I had something local distorting the audio. So I tuned down band and found a useable signal from Germany on 177 kHz and a very good signal from France on 162 kHz. I have uploaded a few short clips cut from recordings I made between 0400 and 0500 UT. The 177 kHz signal was much better at 0430 but I did not record that frequency until after 0500 UT. It isn't real good but couldn't mistake hearing the Beetles "I Want to Hold Your Hand". .wav files are available from this directory: http://w4dex.com/lfbc/22feb04/ Dex
