Is that polar, transpacific, or transatlantic reception do you think? Just curious.

It's psychic reception. Bryant just makes stuff up.

Possibly polar, used to hear most of these stations pretty regular when I lived
in the far West, could be Great Circle dust-to dawn line.

Damn, the combination of sensitivity and low noise floor in both Degen 1102 &
1103 is pretty amazing. The downside is that SSB reception could be better.
