Yes, it's a pretty exciting time, Marc, and I think we are also
getting some good moments of propagation with this solar maximum
being a little on the minimalistic side. The hobby is alive, even
if some of the practitioners are getting a little ancient.
Only correction to your description: Not a Perseus. This must have
been the first Perseus-free DXpedition in awhile. Details in the
write-up, soon to appear.
best wishes,
Nick

Well, the technology involved is amazing. Sylvain logs China-1521
and posts the info on an Internet list. Nick reads Sylvain's post,
checks his own Perseus capture for that date and time and -
bingo! Nick logs an exotic station that he otherwise never would
have realized he had received. Pretty incredible! With all of the
problems facing MWDX including IBOC, 24/7 broadcasting, household
electrical interference etc, the hobby continues to survive. In the
old days, Sylvain would have logged the station, mailed the info
into DXM or DXN, and THREE WEEKS later the "tip" would appear in
print. Meanwhile, DX conditions would probably have changed
dramatically and other DXers would have little chance of hearing the
station. Marc DeLorenzo South Dennis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
