Re: [HCDX] Apintie
Aimo,
if you are looking for stations from the Western
hemisphere on SW I suggest you listen in between 0400
and 0600 UTC, in September perhaps even a bit later.
MW is trickier, but make it a habit to try just a bit
before your local sunrise. Don´t expect to hear a
whole lot of Brazilians or Argentinians as in Finland,
these stations are quite rare in Spain, but if you are
lucky you may fetch good signals from the Caribbean
and the from US Atlantic seaboard.
Africans should be no problem on 60 and 90m just after
your local sunset.
Nighttime DX, from 2100 to 0400 is practically useless
This is roughly what I have found when DXing from
various locations such as Palma de Mallorca and
Lumbrales (W of Salamanca, on the Portuguese border).
On the other hand, DX reception on FM can extremely
good in summer from many locations in the W
Mediterranean. Using a whip antenna and a pedestrian
transistor receiver in Palma I have been hearing lots
of countries ranging from Ireland and Sweden in the
north to Turkey and Greece in the east.
