Don't forget that Farda is directional almost straight towards
Alaska. Finland is a bit off the Farda beam. I don't know Farda's
exact pattern, so can't say if that explains how things are in Finland.
Regardless of the antenna, it's always a bit risky to extrapolate
from reception elsewhere to Pacific NW reception. It just doesn't
work half the time. If you did want to make that jump, I believe
worldwide Farda is the winner.

I seem to recall that Iran-1575 was quite common from PEI however.
The Abadan site and UAE are on about the same bearing from Massett
(though both have a somewhat more northerly bearing than to Finland),
so it does seem strange that they aren't heardin Massett as well, at
least sometimes .
best wishes,
Nick
