INDONESIA 3325, RRI Palangkaraya, 1136-1141 Mar. 29 good signal with female
announcer mentioning Palangkaraya and Indonesia. (Atkins-WA)

Just in case no one else says anything, thank you, Mr. Atkins, for your
loggings. That a DXer of your stature would post to this NG is an honor we hope
you bestow on us frequently.

I've got ALL those stations QSL'd Fat Boy!

I'm sure you do, Steve, but let's keep our conflict in the proper threads. I'm
sure you welcome Mr. Atkins' contribution.

Please, let's not chase away another on-topic contributor.

Absolutely, I've known of Mr. Atkins for years, and have read many of loggings and
reports.

Thanks for the nice words, Michael and Steve. Hopefully some DXers who read
R.R.S. will benefit from my occasional posts. I know that South Pacific and
Asian DX is a tougher catch from the Eastern US and Midwest. I certainly
benefit from loggings of African stations made by those on the other side of
the country from me... that part of the world isn't so easy from the Pacific
NW!

Interestingly, the very best signals I've ever heard from Africa have been
via longpath at local sunrise, with a Beverage antenna pointed *southwest*.
The openings are brief, but can be very strong. One of the best of these was
Channel Africa (4950 kHz? can't recall exact freq.), which you can hear
among other interesting DX audio clips in my PowerPoint presentation of
DXpeditions from the Pacific Northwest: http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/
Look under the "Grayland, WA" section and you'll see the link for download.

Steve, are you still active in the MARE group? The MARE guide to
DXpeditioning was extremely helpful to me when I started getting serious
about DXpeditions years ago.

No Guy, I believe I left MARE maybe around 8 years or so ago. I was QSL editor
for a number of years, and a founding member of the group.
