I use to log lots of DX stations like Michael Bryant when I was out in the
rural countryside with lots of property and good antennas. So I have no
question that Bryant is logging all those stations. Wonder what he uses for
antennas??

It's not humanly possible to identify that many stations that fast even
if they are all in english or a persons first language.

If you're familiar with the schedule and the announcers/programs, you can
go that fast. I can hear the Canadian accent on RCI in an
instant, Radio Netherlands broadcasts in English have a certain
vocabulary that is unique, BBC news has a very exact style and locution,
etc. Others here can identify the
exact transmitter being used by the hum. Now, I can only do this for
a few big powerhouse Euro/NA broadcasters - doing this for a wide range of
African/Arabic/South American/etc. broadcasters is way beyond my skill.

Well you and I are mere mortals. Bryant has a super powered
imagination.

You've (and others) have totally missed my point... why am I not surprised?
