Some years ago, I did an article for QEX on being able to use 
overseas MW stations as possible indicators of enhancement on 160m 
Steve.   I think you may have helped prove the point, and Bob Brown 
would have immortalized your contact in an article if he was still 
going strong.   That's pretty near antipodes DX isn't it?

Of course, maybe, judging by your DX, I should have checked for India 
on 1566 around that time; although HLAZ was peeling the paint just then.

For future reference when firing up on 160m, maybe you should check 
out http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/test/display.htm for real 
time signal strength updates from this part of the world on MW, and 
see if you can find some other good DX.   I aim it west during the 
overnight hours until sunrise, then shift to north for daytime and evening.

best wishes,

Nick
