Re: [IRCA] Patrick's DX Heaven

Another possibility would be somewhere in southwestern Australia.

I'm not sure about real estate prices but the advantages would include
- being in or near a large city (Perth) and all the amenities that go 
with it
- being in a relatively affluent English speaking country
- a relatively moderate climate
- a few local or semi-local AM stations, including a couple of 50 kwers, 
but not nearly as many as you'd deal with in the US
- many miles of sparsely populated coastline for putting up Beverage 
antennas
- lots of interesting DX targets on the other side of the Indian Ocean
- most of the skywave interference from the east would fade out well 
before dawn
- you're about as far as you can get from IBOC interference, assuming 
the Aussies don't decide to adopt it too
