Mark touches on something very dear to my heart that I have been thinking about a lot lately:
A.) it has been decades since I have enjoyed occasional reception from Central and South America from Victoria B.C. With far less sophisticated receivers and antennas. Why is that? (And I am likely over simplifying this...) B.) I want to hear them again or understand why I am not hearing them now. I think, as Nick has observed in the past, is that: 1.) they are there and 2.) you need to be diligent, creative and patient... Because: - it's not like TP DX which is largely "shooting fish in a barrel" because it is... And - you have to deal with all that stuff between you and the DX - where ever it might be. I'll always remember my first XE in 1972 and my first international DX in 1973 after I stopped convincing myself that it wasn't possible. .. .. To be continued...
