I already have two SWL Antennas up here in

That's why they call it DX, I guess! *Our California location simply

backside of the beam. *If we were in someone's sights, or if we had
that extra bit of ocean between us and them, we'd probably hear them
better.

Also, most of the European stations either totally ignore NA or else
use relays to get their point across, resulting in service only from
other locations. *The ones that still use their native soils for
transmitting to us - Czechia, Romania, Albania - all manage fairly
well some of the time.

India is especially absent from California airwaves. *Don't know why,
exactly.

Antipodal?

Maybe - but I get other such stations fairly regularly - RN/VOA
Madagascar, BBC Seychelles, Sri Lanka...?
