I think they run a hundred KW. Their signal strength will depend on band 
conditions, but they won't be much affected by the aurora. The 7200-7300 
range is not nearly as crowded with broadcast stations as it once was, but 
there are still some at various times. I'm sure that what you heard was a 
transmitter in Sudan, and certainly not in the Western Himisphere.

Yeh, I thought of that too, so that's probably what it was, perhaps Sudan
Radio as Lloyd suggests.  I wonder if they have a transmitter close by,
because they were 20 over 9.  Also, I haven't heard a broadcast station on
that frequency before.

While it is possible that what Jim heard was a bootlegger, 7.200 -
7.300 is still a broadcast band outside of region 2.

So, my guess is that you were hearing a broadcast station.

Check the frequency for a few days around the same time to see if that
is the case.
