Re: [IRCA] Amazing dx from Haida Gwaii

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Absolutely fabulous stuff just like you said, Walter.... I wasn't 
paying much attention to the frequencies and missed the fact - 
momentarily - that Ethiopia was in your log as SHORTWAVE. I thought 
that you had heard that, too on MW. I about had a heart attack.... 
What fabulous stuff on MW and very nice on SW, too. Its nice that you 
are so well equipped to ID most of the former Soviet Union, with your 
family ties and numerous trips there over the years.

GREAT WORK!!!
