Default Catch of the winter season in South Africa

My top DX pal Gary Deacon has been at it again and got the following
on his FRG7:

Greetings everyone,

I just got an e mail report along with audio from Gary Deacon. He
heard
KGED 1680 Fresno CA with 1 KW. The first report for the station from
South Africa. What a fine piece of DX Work Gary. Bravo. You will be
getting a QSL letter going out tomorrow. Fantastic!

73,

Patrick

An awesome MW catch over 10,000miles/16,000 km's away from the DX
cottage near Cape Point in the Table Mountain National Park.

Interesting path over South America, Haiti then Abiline TX and Las
Vegas and then over Rockies to Fresno.

Here this morning I have been scanning the various bands, but nothing
worthwhile is coming in over the mountains to my little village in the
valley.
