I know that from here in Indiana it was very common in the past to
receive
the Chinese People's Broadcasting Stations from as far as Lhasa,
Kunming,
and other locations at this QTH.

Funny, but I never saw such MW receptions reported in DX News or the
IRCA
Monitor... that would be most amazing reception in the last 3 decades
or
so.
Even in the peak years of good reception to the Pacific in the early
60's, I
never heard of a Chinese station making it East of the Rockies.

When did this occur and what stations were heard?

Do ya think he might just be referring to SW transmissions, oh faux
one?


If so, that would be odd for two reasons...

1. The thread is about MW.


So?

2. He is using a beverage antenna, not usually associated with SW
receptions.


I can associate the use of a Beverage (Yes, moron, with a capital B)
antenna
with SW reception on most any given day, and so can the cognoscenti.

I'm planning on putting together a 750 foot maybe longer Beverage just for
the hell of it. I guess that I can't use it on SW now though, hahhahahaha.
Since I have quite a bit of written material on the Beverage and the skill
to put it in line, I wonder if that makes me qualified to know how it works.
Also, considering that in past years when time wasn't an issue, I used to
regularly receive Atlantic 252 on longwave here in the Midwestern USA state
of Indiana. Not to mention quite a few other longwave catches starting just
after dark local time. Maybe someday I will figure out how to use the
Beverage for shortwave. Mwhahahhaha.
