Richard, if you have received 279-Rossii on your 7.5" Longwave loopstick PL-360, then you are the only DXer I know of that has successfully received both Longwave TA's and TP's on an antenna as small as a 7.5" loopstick (on any radio, let alone an Ultralight). Living in the center of the country must help, in such a huge challenge. 279-Rossii is by far the strongest of the Longwave TP's, as you probably know. Its signal is so strong that I even managed to receive it once on a barefoot PL-310, using the stock midget loopstick (notoriously deaf on Longwave).

Well, here near the coast the Asian signals were slightly off compared to yesterday, but there were still plenty enough second-tier TP's to keep it interesting. As usual the Chinese were the star performers here, with 603, 639, 1017 and 1323 pretty vibrant at times. Like your DXing spot, this location is on some very rich valley soil, which seems to twist propagation in strange ways compared to other west coast locations.

This morning was nowhere as good as yesterday.  Only JOIB, JOUB and 1053 jamming

Receivers:  PL-310, barefoot and with 7.5-inch ferrite rod.

At 0946-0954, I heard barely audible music on 279 kHz with QRM from beacon

Good DX.

Richard.
