Craig, Thanks for the suggestions, but a move to the EC would be HUGE for me. It would be easier to move back to Alaska and I would still have my cake and eat it too. I would have the TP/DU DX plus the over the pole TA DX. That is more of an option, plus the weather in Alaska is not bad in the

Paul, True, but away from QRM, IBOC, and all of the garbage from civilation. But a town like Palmer (no AMs) 50 miles North of Anchorage is an option as that is where Clayton Woodward heard most of the World on MW. I could get used to that! I lived in Alaska from 55-67 and that is where I heard

Don, Thanks. I love this location. I was born 50 miles South in Tillamook. This evening just before dark, I had over 100 Canadian Geese 30-40 feet away from me in the field. It was beautiful. They were feeding. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager

One American I was talking to said he married a Canadian gal and that made it much easier. Pat: Even that is not as easy as it used to be. When I did it 30 odd years ago it was easy and it only took a few months. These days it takes much longer. One thing to remember, for anyone wanting to do
