Re: [IRCA] eastern DX from Asia?

Thanks Bill. Interesting that there are no signs of life of Asia on the upper MW band; given what the Topband folks are working, one might expect at least a whimper. In PEI in late October 2012 we heard several Asians using an amplified corner fed loop, but they were spread across the band,
