I'm surprised you don't have any China domestic in there as they are all
over the band with some transmitters at 100Kw.

You sure heard a lot of stations from different parts of the world for
this time of the year. Next time I have insomnia in the early hours of
the morning I'll have to try some of these stations.

You got the one Japanese domestic I usually get on 3925 listed in
Passport as 10/50 Kw. Like you found that one can come in big time. I
only have passive antennas and on that band I use a 50 foot shielded
loop.

Actually, I hear so many Chinese stations on the tropical bands that I
consider them "pests", and I rarely log or report them. Also, certain other
geographic areas interest me more for DX and the music that is broadcast
from places like the South Pacific and Africa, so I tend to concentrate my
DXing on those stations from the parts of the world. However, when it comes
to medium wave DXing I seek out the Chinese stations as much as any other.
They are not as common for me on medium wave as the Japanese or Korean
stations.
