Thanks so far for all the suggestions & comments. Bill Harms mentioned

You thinking of Ray Moore?

Randy,
I'd concur with Patrick's list of TPs. The four Japanese on
594/693/747/774 on many days are the only TPs I hear (today being an
example!). The Korean is considerably rarer here, though it's been in a
few times this season.
For DU signals, I've had the best success with 702 Sydney,
Randy,
I've ever expended much effort DXing TPs from Oklahoma since, for the
past 20 years, I've been spending at east a couple of months a year
in western Washington State, where the TPs are just the right degree
of DXing difficulty. The one time that I did hear them from Oklahoma
was in eit

Randy,
I am not sure what your local QRM is regarding open frequencies, but
considering the strongest TPs.

Bill,
Hank Wilkinson and DXers put up longwire antennas on a lot in metro
Philly in the 20s/30s and heard 100 watt Australians on MW. The dial was
a lot quietier in those days without noise, so low power TPs/DUs were
fairly easy to log on the East Coast years ago.

Bill,
That corresponds with my experience in Utah 20 years ago. NHK 747
and 873 were very good at times also.

Randy:
First a little background. In the past, I mean in the 1950's and
before, transpacific receptions on the East Coast were not at all
uncommon, especially the stuff from Down Under. Then the bands became
congested with more stations on the air and the stations going 24/7.
That sai
The best TP here in Arizona is 594, 774 and 1566 best time is around LSR.

Since IRCA seems to be so westerly-oriented, I thought it would be a
good idea to survey the foreign-DX braintrust on this list with the
following questions.
Here in southern Missouri, *TA* reception has not only been possible,
it's been remarkably good at times both this season and last. My
