phased BoG experiment in Masset.

IRCA
Just noted 1380 Mexico at 0559:13z with the the Mexican National Anthem, on
November 13 in Newfoundland. No idea which station, but I'd say the Mexico
City station with the highest power is the likely culprit. This was on our
SouthWest wire, which I'm concluding is more west than south in effect.
