Maybe 15-18 years ago I picked up Mexico City on my Philco model 90 using a metal window frame as an antenna. Station XEW was (is) 250,000 watts, and I picked up the very, very weak signal at 1-2 in the morning. On another occasion I was using one of my Zenith Trans-Oceanics with built-in antenna (either a 1000 or a 3000, can't remember for sure). Station KSDO here in San Diego signed off on 1130 KHz, and when the carrier went down, KWKH in Shreveport, LA came in. This was at about 2 in the morning or so. On another occasion with the Zenith I was able to pick up WLS in Chicago. Again in the wee hours and all of this DX went on in winter time. It sure was a lot of fun to DX!!
