12,500 miles checks out on my Encarta World Atlas
11,584 miles is the furthest DX catch I can get
That is AFN Pearl Harbour
Comes in here regularly on 10,320 Khz
9,672 miles is the distance from dxAce's Holland, MI, QTH to his beloved
Diego Garcia.
11,900 miles is the longest LW/MW catch I ever heard of.
That was NZ DXers getting France from Invercargill.
My longest MW catch was Spokane, WA - 10,300 miles
Have fun and good DX for the New Year

Just curious. Anyone know what the longest GC distance from any point
on
Earth to any other point?
Perhaps about 12,500 miles? Circumference of the earth is about 25,000
miles at
the equator.
