@edd526 When they were on for 24 hours, I could catch almost every day. Thank you for your comment.

Very rare station!

@cknqp108 ドライバーは表面にペラペラのメッキがしてある安物はダメでした­。業務用の炭素鋼を使ったごついのをぶち込んで、周りに水を撒い­て使いました。効果は…中波はとても効果があるのは分かりました­が、短波ではSがほんのり上がるかな？程度です。水をまかないと­、ほとんど何も変わりません（泣）そもそも10mでは、指向性も­へったくれもないようで、こんど60mb用に30mくらいのを今­度地面にぶちまけてみようかと思っています。

10mワイヤーでも弱いながらもきれいに聴こえますね！すごいで­すね～　ところで３０ｃｍスクリュードライバーのアースの効果はどんなも­のなのでしょうか？

私もマイポータブルとアクティブループアンテナでチャレンジして­みよかな～＾＾

あの1kwのWONTOK R.もかすかに入るくらいだから....いや...ちょっと距離­が...遠いなぁ...無理っぽいなぁ＾＾；（つぶやき）

@senderjaeger What a quick response ! Indeed, many Youtubers have taught that to me through their or your interesting and informative videos, thank you !. And others have kindly taught me the importance of aerials. I'd love to set up solid fixed active antenna some day. (in the former reply, I'd mistaken "active" for "passive")

Fine video and great DX! The 10 m wire pulls in this exotic station with a weak but clean signal and the SYNC of the HF-225 works well. DXing outdoors has certainly paid off!
