Surprised to hear them as they are beaming due south to New Zealand.

Currently using the Drake R8 and 200' W-E wire.

I'm hoping that's a sign that they will come in like gangbusters for the
North American transmission. I've heard nothing yet and the transmission
to Japan would have been one of my better chances.

How so? The path doesn't even come close to North America. The long path comes
back to St. Helena through South America.

Quite true but that should be used more as a guideline as some people I
know north-east of Edmonton did hear the RSH broadcast directed to
Japan. I did say better but not my best chance. In theory, the broadcast
to North America should have been my best shot but it wasn't; my best
reception was with the transmission directed towards Europe.
