Once in awhile we still get lucky and a European (Romania) or an

Even the tropical bands are getting filled up with these guys.

Yup, even on the East Coast, the Europeans have totally given up on 49
meters after 10pm local (EST) in English. I wouldn't call RHC or CRI a
monopoly because it isn't like anyone wants to be there anymore on
shortwave.

Radio Romania was booming here at 630utc on 7370khz tonight when I
caught them talking about Romanian tennis players in the Australian open.

Yes, Romania has been doing very well lately on all of their freqs. A
pleasure to listen to!
