Default LW hot again last night.

Euro and N. Africa longwave was active again last night after 9 PM
local MST on 153, 162, 171, 180, and 189 kHz. In some cases there were
hetrodynes with multiple stations on a freq. with uneven, slow fading
such that one would dominate at times. Same story this morning with
the eastern Russian stations on 153, 180 and 189 kHz. The same
programming was on 153 and 189. Very strange rock music in English but
Russian announcer.

R70 with 150M long wire, LF preamp and preselector.

Hi, Frank - being in Tucson, are you relatively remote from most
domestic AM stations? Does that preselector help a lot?

I would love to listen to LW, but being near several blowtorches simply
does not help, for many reasons...
