Interesting.  Thanks,

What is your antenna?  RX only?

Yes, that's great DX. What is your antenna, your performance is exceptional.  Are you sitting on a salt water lake?

I don't think I worked many stations over 2,000 miles away when I was at sea, I did manage a QSO once from offshore Guayaquil, Ecuador to the (New) Jersey Shore north of Tuckerton, NJ and south of Manahawakin, NJ at WSC West Creek, NJ Radio. I was running about 400 watts to a Inverted L about 150 foot long on a big tanker. I used frequencies for him (460 kHz) and for me (468 kHz). I called him on 500 kHz but with the QRM he didn't hear me so he was working a ship on  468 kHz so I jumped in when the ship was signing with him.  

Nice DX, great going!

Interesting, well, I spotted K9FD myself.  I left wspr running 
overnight, and K9FD came in from b11, also k5dnl, from em15. Not booming 
in here, -25 or so, but I think that's kind of 'actual dx'.

KJ6MKI is making it out 2361 miles to Hawaii - where K9FD is located
in Maunaloa, HI - he's on the former site of an AM broadcast station
and uses the radial bed to his advantage.
