Small Dutch Stations.
If the American doesn’t want to cross the Atlantic, there are plenty of other specialties on the medium wave, such as small Dutch stations. A perfect piece of information about QRGs and QTH can be found here: https://radio-tv-nederland.nl/am/am.html

QSL: Radio Free Africa, Tanzania.
My QSL of the month: After numerous reports in the last years, Steve Diallo, Technical & Operations Manager confirmed today that I received Radio Free Africa from Tanzania. The station from Mwanza, the capital of the Mwanza region, directly at Lake Victoria, can be heard in the evening on mediumwave 1377 kHz, the reception is much easier than finding a way to contact the station. Many thanks to Jan-Mikael Nurmela for his support!

Use CMCCs!
A visible note for outdoor antenna users: Use CMCCs! These Common-mode current choke are absolutely worth their money, especially with longer coax feed lines in receive mode. As an example here is a screen of the Solomon Islands on 5020 kHz at my Asia Beverage, to see and hear the signal from the Pacific Ocean only with S3/S5, but the noise floor below (!) – 140 dBm makes listening possible. I use CMCCs from remoteqth.com and Bonito.
QSL: Myanma, 594 kHz.
Southeast Asia! Myanma Radio from Naypyidaw confirmed today the mediumwave reception of the broadcast on 594 kHz with his QSL card. After many attempts in autumn last year, I was able to listen to the local morning broadcast from the “Republic of the Union of Myanmar” in mid-October around 23.25 UT here in Salzburg. Very happy about that QSL.
