Re: [IRCA] Ecuador on 750

[Sylvain Naud <sylvainnaud62@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you guys.

To tell you the truth Brandon, I have more success with trans-Atlantic 
stations than Latins. It seems that you have to DX deep in the night to 
be successful with Latins, which I'm not doing. I would certainly like 
also to log more Mexicans like Saul is doing in Ontario, but it seems 
that the key for that is to get up very early and I'm used to get up at 
7:00 :-)
