In this quiet time for DX, I'll go into a "when I was a boy" mode, but, 
back in the mid 70's, hearing BBC-UK's audio on 647 gradually fade down and 
being replaced by whichever Far East Russian was on the same channel was my 
moment here on the west coast.   This was at home using a box loop antenna 
and a transmogrified National HRO receiver

best wishes,
