Re: [HCDX] European LW txs audible in AUS or NZL ?

[Mark Nicholls <mark@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Karel


Yes Paul Ormandy, myself  and others here in New 
Zealand have heard many European LW stations over 
the years, especially during the great reception 
period of 1985-1989
We've heard Romania 153 , France 162 at good 
readable levels , also Ulaan Baatar in Mongolia 
on 164 plus heaps of the Eastern Russian LW 
transmitters on the 'Mayak' programming.
We would start hearing the Eastern Russian LW 
around 1030 UTC    2230 NZST and the latest Paul 
or I have heard LW was Jordan 207 kHz around 2100 
UTC  0900 NZST well after local sunrise in NZ.

The reception noted above was by Paul Ormandy and 
myself at Paul's DX site at Waianakarua near 
Oamaru, New Zealand using my Drake R8 and his 
SPR4 during the period 1985-1989.
