- I'm not sure if that is a significant catch from CA.
- 6,000 miles away?
- I am getting AFN Guam quite nicely on 5765 khz
- at around sunset, 1600z here (8,700miles away),
- but rush to say it is a great DX catch as propagation
- doesn't often favour such long distance DX on 5 Mhz.
- The signal is fairly clear but rather faint.

- Well done RHF = a good catch!

JP,

Not really a Weak Signal DXer : I am simply a Broadcast
Program Listener and avid Tuning Knob 'spinner' who enjoys
the Serendipity of "Finding" something On-the-Radio.

Like the Sony ICF-SW7600GR Radio : But I Love the
Redsun RP2100 Radio -cause- It's got a Tuning Knob ! )

Plus I like to Report-On the Strong Signals that a Newbie
Shortwave Radio Listener (SWL) could easily hear on a
'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio just using the Whip
Antenna or a simple 23 Foot Roll-Up {Reel} Antenna.

i like listening to the radio ~ RHF
