Re: [HCDX] [dxld] The Cross
The exact off-frequency and the language do point to The Cross. What else is there on 4755.4? They have been signing off earlier than before, so not hearing them at 1030 or 1805 is not surprising or conclusive. They would certainly be on the air at 0741, their prime time, unless there was a power outage. Perhaps someone in North America, Pacific or east Asia can confirm whether they were on the air today at 0741. Note that Manuel was also getting Vanuatu 7260 around the same time. Assuming Mauricio would have intercepted The Cross further south, possibly it was really short-path along the grayline across the Arctic ocean north of Eurasia and eastern Siberia? 73, Glenn Hauser
