I have 1YC/880 from Auckland, 1YZ/860 from the Paengaroa site, and
2YC/660 outside Wellington verified while living on the top floor of an
old house in East Vancouver in early '68. 4QD/Emerald on 1550 was also
heard but for some reason I never bothered to send a report... rx was
(and still is tho' haven't tried to turn it on in decades) an
Aussie-made boombox-style with just the internal ferrite rod...
physically about the same size as the Zenith Trans-Oceanic.

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
