Excitingly Falklands Isl was heard here on MW for the first time.

Sadly my Kiwa MW Loop gave up the ghost and wouldn't work = pity after
20 years of outstanding service.

John,
Sorry to hear about your Kiwa loop. What exactly went wrong? Great MW
catch there! I am always amazed at your BCB/DX! Which, of your many
radios, did you capture this DX on?
