Just curious. Anyone know what the longest GC distance from any point on
Earth to any other point?

Perhaps about 12,500 miles? Circumference of the earth is about 25,000 miles at
the equator.

12,500 miles checks out on my Encarta World Atlas
11,584 miles is the furthest DX catch I can get
That is AFN Pearl Harbour
Comes in here regularly on 10,320 Khz
9,672 miles is the distance from dxAce's Holland, MI, QTH to his beloved
Diego Garcia.
11,900 miles is the longest LW/MW catch I ever heard of.
That was NZ DXers getting France from Invercargill.
My longest MW catch was Spokane, WA - 10,300 miles

Have fun and good DX for the New Year

Earth's circumference at the Equator is more like 24,000 miles.24 hours
in a day and Earth rotates about 1,000 miles per hour.We are zooming
through the Universe at about 60,000 miles per hour.Hold on to your
hats,folks!
