Unlike the Eastern 2/3s of the USA, our best listening here on the
West Coast seems to be Asian and Oceana stations coming from the

late feeds to the West, but most of the Larry Magne prime time is over
before it gets dark here.

Man, you ain't kiddin'. The big Euro stations that make for armchair
listening back east are solid DX for us left coasters. The Eastern
Euros are often downright tough, even the 500 kW boys. Prague is
usually impossible at my QTH near San Francisco. Italy and Bulgaria
need excellent conditions to be readable. The other Balkans and
Baltics are uniformly tough, even in winter.

South America, Africa and East Asia, OTOH, are frequently readable or
better.
