[IRCA] report about WBZ receptions in Japan

[Mark Connelly]

WBZ's tower site in Hull, MA - a peninsula surrounded by salt water on all sides but a narrow piece south - affords the station great "get-out-ability".

For your listening pleasure, a few recordings of WBZ 1030 at far-flung locations:

Australia (FEB 1996)
https://app.box.com/s/kydfvk9b18pj1h562f5bq8psc7jv423n

Midway Island, Pacific Ocean (OCT 1965) RX = R-390A

Iceland (MAY 2018)

On the MW Circle Facebook page, Vincent Stevens says "heard occasionally down in Cape Town" (South Africa) .. even though ERP that way is only about 5 kW .. but next to no land in the way on the 7000+ mile route.

Thanks for posting this link, Mark.

The DXpedition participants also received WPTX-1690  and WRDW-1680, 
the latter before Hokkaido sunset.

These are major DX, even if their night time powers were being uh, unobserved.

best wishes,

Nick
