+AD4-This message is to inform the DX community that the 7th Newfoundland
+AD4-DXpedition will be starting in a couple of weeks.  We will be employing
+AD4-many Beverage antennas.

+AD4-As usual the emphasis, and
+AD4-most of the action, will be on intercontinental medium wave,

Wish I could be there ... I have always thought the ultimate MW DX
logging that I believe has never before been made, would be
hearing Western Australia at their LSR, roughly just after LSS in Nfld.
This would probably require a nearly 0-degrees bearing Beverage.
I suppose one good bet, 6WF-720 would be killed by CHTN, but
perhaps 6WA could be had. Maybe October is early enough that
the WA's would not be lost in pre/sign-on daylight. Or perhaps these
fellows are 24-hours. Anyone care to compare skeds vs propagation
times for this possibility?

I know being on the SE coast of Nfld limits propagation from N somewhat.
