Thanks - I was given a second opinion today that it was a B-52 out of North Dakota so probably no beacon as such available and likely no trailing wire of any length. Still it was a beautiful morning around -20C

Much better Mf conditions this evening with at least 3 US stations seen here

Nice picture Laurence !
I tried to find it back on the Playback Flight Radar, but perhaps there was no track beacon a board ?
Or I'm looking in the wrong area.
 
 
Btw, I use this online Flight radar sometimes for example to figure out what plain was responsable for a WSPR reflection @ nearby stations on 28 Mhz.
I see often these dopler traces in the WSPR spectogram while stations at ~30 km distance where broadcasting a WSPR txmission.
And guess what; the bigger the  plane, the strong the reflection :-)

Driving to work this morning I filmed this

http://kl7l.com/tacamomaybe.jpg    (warning (Will Smith)  - 2Mb file for high res))
 
 
It shows an aircraft doing a circular orbit probably between 35,000 and 40,000ft some (by a rough calulation) 70 miles away at the furthest point of the circle, bearing 115degT just over the open water of Prince William Sound (using the sun angle and elevation from other shots)
 
This was the second "orbit" - you can see the diffused one from 30 mins earlier. Picture was taken at appx 1803Z
 
I cant see (at the moment) any Tacamo activity exactly then , but there was some earlier - any a nice picture in case...
 
A pair of Moose attacked my new VLF loop overnight but I appear to be the winner with only bruises and one broken spar...they obviously arent fans of radio.
