Hi Mauno, Thanks for listening to the MP3. I switched to the largest antenna here (the 9' PVC box loop) for TP-DXing this morning, and received a Japanese station on 729 kHz at a fairly good level. Don't know for sure if this is the same station as yesterday, but it's the first time that 729-JOCK (// 594) has been heard here. Bruce may have been right. 73, Gary In a message dated 9/13/2010 5:29:15 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, mauno.rit...@realmonitor.com writes:
