I agree. I reported the systematic difference in signalstrenght of OH1TN
(often 10dB or more) in the UK versus Belgium already in 1998. It is also
remarkable that this difference in much less (or even dissapears) at days
of high magnetic activity (high 'A-values' in the solar reports).

Fellows,

Now that G3KEV mentioned it (see below) there must be
some secret in latitudinal location in addition to
equipment available, power, antenna etc.

I listen to 136 kHz day after day and leaving out
OH3LYG and OH1TN (in this order) MM0ALM is always the
strongest "DX" and G3KEV comes next. What say?
PS  SM6PXJ is not bad either...

OH2LX, PJ2/OH2LX (1st /OH0 in Aland Island in 1954), hi.
