Here's an example of what I've experienced. First, back in the early
1980s, during the height of the Cold War, my wife and I spent 6 weeks in
New Zealand. All I brought along was a tiny analogue Sony SW portable.
With only the whip, Radio Liberty came booming in, at local level. That
was a head-scratcher, as back in Canada, it was a real DX target, and
always battling Soviet jamming. There wasn't a hint of the latter in New
Zealand. Poking around a globe, I realized that all signals from Spain
(the former site of most of the RL transmitters to the FSU were located)
were heading towards me at the antipode in New Zealand. Another example
was in Maui. In the late afternoon, Radio Botswana on 60 meters would be
very well heard with a simple length of wire. Again, the Hawaiian Islands
are approximately antipodal to that region of southern Africa. 73, Walt
