In the Cook Islands there never was a problem with transoceanic DX being too weak-- the problem was that it was too strong

Gary, how many signals could be heard at high noon local (i.e. groundwave) with the most sensitivity you could throw at it?
In Newfoundland, the DXpedition group managed NYC, Bermuda, and Azores at noon: all in excess of 1000 miles / 1600 km. When some skip got in the mix (NOV/DEC), the former Norway blaster (1314) and UK (1215) were basically 'round-the-clock signals.
Back when Turks and Caicos 530 was big power, it could be heard here on Cape Cod all day at about 1400 miles / 2000 km.
