This is only loss of longwave to Europe. Plenty of SW freq avail. I don't
know that I've heard of much longwave reception of BBC outside of Europe.
No go with ICOM R-75 in the middle of the North American Continent.

Not much luck with the BBC, some relatively weak signals late in the
evening; however Allouis on 162kHz has been armchair quality several
evenings lately, with 216 almost as strong but with NDB QRM making it
diffcult to copy.

Using a Kenwood TS-850 and 160M sloper.

Fun to listen once in a while but hardly reliable here, much more
reliable on the East Coast when I get the chance.
