Hello everywhere, once again we spent a nice DX-week at Vorupør in Denmark. We had very good openings towards the north American east coast. Our two highlights: On 680 KBRW Barrow became audible one day. It was the first time that we succeeded to receive a station from Alaska. We also were happy to listen to the Japanese station KBC Fukuoka on 1413. Altogether the mediumwave was dominating due to a very low A-index the first two days.
