I'm a bit confused.  Why is PNG in daylight on the East Coast of the US, 
considered weak dx?  In the west coast US I have to fight to receive PNG, 
and I have a pretty good setup.  If this list is to be limited to 10 watt 
stations coming in to the other side of the world with sinpo 55555, then 
I want no part of this.  I assumed that this list was to eliminate the 
"Which is better Sony 7600G or YB400?" constant discussion on 
rec.radio.shortwave, and to provide a place for dxer's to trade and 
compare loggings.  I guess there really does need to be a clarification.  
But how many "hard-core" dxers really consider PNG to be a weak catch on 
the east coast?
