Back in the '60s, the Asian and Australian DX was still on the 10 kHz channels, but there were also still clear channels, so domestic interference was not a big issue on a number of frequencies.

I think the only one I heard then was China on 1040, but at least in IRCA, DXers in California, and I think Seattle, heard others, using just air core loop antennas, and big iron communication receivers.

best wishes,

Nick

To list those regions.  I just don't remember, nor do I have old newsletters
to reference.
I grew up only thinking ta/tp were relegated to the swl hobby.
I hope we can expand on this issue of soils conductivity vs. domestic dx and
the potential for great dx in less than ideal circumstances.

Subject: [IRCA] domestic dx

Glad to see a little domestic dx being offered  up.  While interesting,  the
ta/tp stuff does get a bit pedantic at times.  Not criticizing, just sayin'.

And while I'm steeping on toes,  would like to see more qth and equip.
included with folks' reports. Helps with the mileage thing.
