welll, CW is likely correct, but the equivalent for us would be 
hearing a beat note on a 1 kw station from over there (it wouldn't 
surprise me if some Asian countries' legal limit from a 160m amateur 
station is less than 1kw, but don't know).   Given that many target 
MW stations are 50kw and up, tack on another 3 S-units or more...of 
course, we have splatter to contend with, but an audible carrier 
shouldn't be impossible.   Then, one starts to DX, hi.

Antennas...the only ones mentioned seem to be suburban lot 
ones....here's one for you Bill:

You could pay him a visit, hi.

best wishes,

(who keeps hoping for TAs here, but to little avail, some of which 
are closer than Asians are to you)
