If your reception of 675 was 15 years ago, I would have said Hohhot,

As far as UltraLight Records are concerned, receptions with ANY

do need to tell me the radio used and whether it is barefoot or super-modified.
An e-mail from CE Monte Passmore indicates everything is set to go for the

and sweep tones to maximize opportunities to hear the station. Here are the

Pat,
Vietnam is quite common now, especially if I can hear it 60 miles inland
from the coast. Colin, Walt Nick pick them up quite often.
Hearing a TP on 1010 and it being Hanoi is remarkable.
My best TP on a domestic channel was China on 1040, they
really use to boom into the SF Bay Area
Dennis,
Back in the early 80s, the band was a lot different too. 1010 was
clearer as I heard and QSL'd the old KLRA-AR.
1040 China used to be a HUGE powerhouse. Some estimated their ERP
towards Japan, as they ran FS in JJ often, as 8,000 KW. Probably some
highly directional pattern. Anyway,
For Christmas and a Birthday I received a WRTH 2008 and Passport to World Band
Radio 2008. So I'm set for the year. I also ordered a SRF-59 over the weekend
and hope to see it in the mail in the next week.
