Don, You are sure correct. The 60s & 70s were excellent DX years for domestics. I remember in the late 60s with my old Philco with the 162 khz IF. It was one sharp set to DX with. Monday mornings were fantastic with frequency after frequency wide open with W after W call. WKAR-870-MI was a normal catch, as well as WIRE-1430-IN. I remember logging the WNUE 1400 FL DX test in 1971 and I even got the QSL. Those were great years. Now it takes a beverage to get 5% of that kind of DX today. What has changed is the number of NSP stations. As when they occasionally go off, DX is still there.
