Havent seen conditions for MW this good in a long time. WBT 1110 in
Charlotte NC & WTAM in Cleveland are usually good here, but tonight they
sound like locals. 760 WJR in Detroit is amazingly clear and regular just
so long as you use SSB. For the first time, I'm hearing 870 WWL in New
Orleans. I can copy it with LSB only. Very sloppy but I got the station ID
above the clutter. That is a first for me.

Nice work Michael.
MW DXing is great fun when conditions are running = goog luck!
Conditions here at 0200z were poor and I could only get the usual
France Info Nice on 1557 kHz and Saudi Arabia on 1521. The French
Island of Mayotte was coming in nicely on 1458 and R Free Africa from
Tanzania on 1377.


All my MW DXing is done in ECSS/SSB mode, usually with a 3 kHz filter
for best fidelity and recognition of ID's.


I always use ECSS to sift for any DX. I like my R75 for that very much,
but, the R75 is not a good MW rig. I'd like to try a Drake R7 for that.
