Actually I thought that one of the delights of medium wave DXing was 
receiving stations that seem unnaturally strong because of 
propagation.   This morning I was fortunate enough to hear a couple 
of 10 kw stations from Japan when one of the main stations on that 
network was pretty much inaudible in spite of 300kw of power.  So, 
were the 10 kw stations suddenly "cheating"?  Of course not; unusual 
propagation was the cause.   Perhaps only someone within a station's 
service area can have a really clear idea of what relative power a 
station is running.

Otherwise, it could just be the DX gods favoring you.

best wishes,

Nick
