Between the Spring of 1975 and the fall of 1976, I heard most of the countries in Central America, a few in South America and a dozen or so countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East... On a DX150B and some random wire antennas that actually passed over a 220V home power line. On medium wave.
I get that conditions have been crap for months (with one or two delightful exceptions...) And I wonder why I don't hear more N/S stuff... Well, for one, I suppress reception from the S with Flag antennas and directional arrays. Maybe I need to face at least 1 antenna in another direction... South... At least for starters.
