.....and what a difference 20+ years makes, Nigel. I don't know if you recall
using Beverages at Pembina Forks in the October snow, and digging mightily to
hear the big gun Japanese. Your loggings this season sound like you're on the
coast.

Nick, indeed I remember well, both the DX and the frozen orange juice
(not to mention toes). Checked the log ,and 20 years ago this month we
were out there. Logged 1575 with a modest signal on Oct 14th, and that
same morning heard 4MK on 1026 Yes, hearing Japan was a big deal,
though I see w did manage to hear the low power NHK synchros on 1584
(and I'd forgotten about the 3970 parallel we had on shortwave back
then).
73,
Nigel.
