Two thoughts
-- Jon- I wonder if 1908.0 is best-- there is a AM broadcast station in HS
on that freq which we use as a beacon here on the west coast. I wonder if
you might hear it a little and mask some JA signal? I was turned on to it
by Pres N6SS-- and suffered with it while at XZ1N. It does not regularly
cause a problem to us on the west coast, but I have heard it loud enuff to
demod the AM.. and this is confirmed, not a Birdie/mix.
The other thought is in best freq to hear in JA- I note that the JAs choose
to RX at either 1802-10 or 1823-26. Is there any garbage/interference heard
in JA around 1820-1823? How much trouble does the 1850 (in DU?) LORAN cause
for RX in JA on these higher freqs??? There might be a better freq W to TX
to JA???
Good luck to you both on a tuff path...
