Re: [IRCA] MWDX from South Africa

[Chernos Saul <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some of these signals really get out, like Pulpit and Botswana 909and Lesotho 1197 - have heard them at Newfoundland DXpeditions. Pulpit was a real chore to nail down but managed a parallel. Not that I stand a chance at any of these from inland North America. Welcome to the list, Wally - looking forward to your posts!
