Strangely enough, I've never had any luck with this one.  I did have some 
audio on 1179 last night, but it appeared to be either Spain or Canary Is.
A whole lotta WHAM and no directional outdoor antenna = no Sweden.  The band 
was certainly awash in TA hets here last night, but only audio on the usual 
big guns, and nothing new logged.

The catch of the night for me was a domestic: CKCM-620 Grand Falls NL, 
carrying the usual VOCM network feed.  New here, and much welcome.

All I can say is: Sigh.  :-)
