<<First time for China on medium wave in Brazil. The 1377 kHz Henan <<province CNR station was heard yesterday Oct 9, at 21,00-21,35 UTC <<during a dx-pedition in Ilha Comprida, South Brazil, 300 km SW of Sao <<Paulo. Probably we enjoyed a rare long path via South Pole (China is <<some 18,000 km away) due to very low magnetic activity these days <<The location was a car on the beach, with a AOR 7030 + 150 long wire on <<ground pointed to E-SE, phased with a 30mt wire via the Quantum Phaser.
Compliments to this excellent log, Rocco! Interestingly, the signal on 1377 was heard at a similar times in Central Europe. I noted it on Sept 30 from 21:30 to 21:50 UTC. Looking at a Great Circle Map produced with W6EL software, I doubt the long path theory. Distance on the short path is approx 17.000 km, all in darkness (64 degrees), while long path (244 degrees) is in daylight.
