Chuck,
I can recall driving back to the airport in St. John's, NF one morning,
listening to Greenland 720, at local levels on the car radio. Hope that
those days will return with their re-activation.

I would tend to agree with Chuck that when you are on the coast, the direct
water paths to the target areas are more important than ground conductivity.

Hi Walt,
Is it RNE or is it Romania which is often strong on 855 ?(and if it is, then
1179 and 1552 are also worth checking). I had 1179 giving me a het on Friday on
a rental car driving home, so it would be a channel to check as well.

Hi Walt,
You must be much more selective in your recordings than I am! In
Newfoundland, we often have 600 GB to 1 TB of recordings over 5 or 6 days (I
