<<< Except for 990 (with an assumed strong null towards us), they've all (not just some) been heard in Newfoundland. I'd add Saudi Arabia 1521 to the list. Perhaps UAE also. >>> Chuck, Yes, these are all fairly common in Newfoundland, but receiving any of them in Hawaii would be at ranges at least twice as great, with all of Asia (and the local Hawaii QRM) in play at the same time. I guess that's what makes it so challenging. 702-BBC in Oman was received at 8,400 miles, with 6 other transoceanic DX stations logged on the same 702 kHz frequency during the trip. <<< Good luck with the Hong Kong QRM. I expect it will be tough. >>> Well, Hong Kong is one of the worst possible DXing venues on the planet, with a wicked combination of severe overcrowding and the highest real estate prices on the planet. But since my Hong Kong Chinese wife insisted that we go there for a week, at least I should give DXing my best shot. Who knows-- maybe 567-Laos and 918-RNK will be daytimers? Gary
