Maybe not. I don't have the statistics. But NDB Database expert Michael Oexner was very enthusiastic when I asked him what station on 439 kHz ID'ed "WD". His reply:
Heard today with my Perseus connected to a 58-degree beverage at 1800 UTC. The distance should be roughly 6,500 km. Extremely weak, of course. Thanks for your info, Michael!
Far East NDB reception was pioneered by Vesa Hienonen in Finland last winter. He logged HKG-338 Hong Kong, OY-352 and RM-398 Urumqi and from Indonesia OJ-375.0 Hasanuddin - all European firsts at that time if I'm not mistaken.
Last season saw also European DXers logging 4 NDBs from Pakistan for the first time: PS-308 Peshawar, QT-348 Quetta, MT-387 Multan and KE-410 Chor.
SM6BHZ's beacon on 504 kHz has been heard in China recently. Last time Sept 12 between 20.24-20.46 UTC. I think he is using WSPR-mode. 73/Christer SM6PXJ
