That's certainly true, Nick-- although even if I hear HLAZ 1,000 times, 1377-RRI is unlikely to get through the KKMO-KRKO maze here.

Well, since all of us have kept this hobby up for decades in the face of changes such as the computer revolution (and live web stream audio, from the same transoceanic stations that we are chasing), maybe we are all pretty fanatical, but only in different ways? :-)

For me, the back yard DXing in the rain, wind and cold is the best possible training for ocean cliff DXing-- in the rain, wind and cold.

73, Gary

Ah, but there's the secret Gary....there may be DX there, but if no 
one is listening....  You have to hear a lot of HLAZ to hear just a 
little bit of RRI.

Having said that, my automated DXing style is quite different from 
that involved in taking UL radios out into the dark and cold, so it's 
easy to do a quick scan after the fact, if only to report that 
indeed, we all made the right decision to stay in bed.

best wishes,
