 COMMENTS ABOUT BOC-29 DX-NIGHTS  :
 
Reception on  MW respect BOC-27 & BOC-28 has been better, the reason is related to the missing of storms in the listening area.
On the other hand the Solar Flux of the Sun has been going up, helping to get many signals in the Tropical Bands.
Most good results on MW from USA/Canada around 0400-0445 hours and to Spain at 0450-0530 hours.

NATURALLY WE WILL BE PLEASED TO RECEIVE YOUR COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, CORRECTIONS.  PLEASE SEND ALL THEM TO:   info(-at-)playdx.com

 TILL NEXT BOC-30 ! Hasta la proxima BOC-30 !
