Thanks to Bob Dobbs and RHF for the heads up on HRO. My son took me
there yesterday, it's a small store in a very downmarket area.
Cluttered with merchandise that is not marked it was difficult to see
anything - not like the lovely Fry's at all, so I was a bit
disappointed and only came away with a Monitoring times and QST.

Since I got on the Delta airliner I was surprised to find everything
in the US is now in two languages!!! even the food and other packaging
is in two languages. Looks like when my grandson goes to school he
will have to learn Spanish??!!

I had another long sweep on SW but found very little, just a few
Spanish stations and two hot gospelers in English.

AM MW is quite exciting for this bush baby as many of the stations I
hear so weakly in Africa I can now hear clearly on my ultralight
Grundig G8 Traveller II. Have now got ten states on MW, but am awed
that some fella's have all the 48 states and some even logged 700 AM
MW stations = quite amazing and really hard work and a lot of skill
and patience. I salute these DXer's for their great achievements.

Well off home again on Tuesday and the 32 hours door to door
travelling is not to be looked forward to.

Have fun and good DX to all

Good deal John, glad you had a good trip and here's
hoping a safe one home.
