Hi Nick, <<< Do you know any of the background to these loggings? I notice they are from Kyoto and Shiga. If I remember correctly, Shiga prefecture encloses Lake Biwa, so I wonder if there were DXpedition sites? >>> Unfortunately the Japanese DXer who posted this link on the Facebook page isn't one of the Kyoto-Shiga area DXer group who made the loggings, so he didn't include any background information. Almost all of the serious Japanese transoceanic DXers use Perseus-SDR receivers, though (although a few of these also have taken up Ultralight radio DXing as a new challenge, for a change of pace). Of course the reception area in western Japan obviously isn't ideal for North American reception, since the prime ocean beaches for that activity are in the isolated NE parts of the country. As such, the TP stations on the map represent ones with enough strength to get through serious Japanese domestic QRM. It's safe to say that far more American TP's can be received on the isolated beaches of NE Honshu and Hokkaido. 73, Gary

Do you know any of the background to these loggings? I notice they are from Kyoto and Shiga. If I remember correctly, Shiga prefecture encloses Lake Biwa, so I wonder if there were DXpedition sites? There's also a Shiga village on Lake Biwa, or at least a former neighbor who comes from there told me so several years ago, and I imagine she would have known, hi. best wishes, Nick At 07:35 19-11-15, you wrote: >For those interested in how many of our local pests can cross the >"big pond," a group of Japanese DXers in Kyoto has posted a Google >map of all their TP receptions of North, Central and South American >stations (103 total) received from 1994 to 2015.
