Rather awesome DX from QC, Sylvain. We've had 1521 China from
Newfofundland - seems to make it almost every trip out there - but
it's not exactly a slam dunk. Did you wait patiently for Saudi Arabia
to fade down or was China alone or otherwise dominant?
I wonder how far inland this one could be heard...
