Great Asia-Pacific DX via Swedish Online SDR

An SDR in Northern Sweden, near the Finnish border, is offering great DX windows into East Asia and Western North America, especially on AM. I know this is cheating, not my rx or my antennas. But it does give an indication of what can be done from Northern Europe with the right setup.
The SDR is run by sm2byc . Its greatest strengths? 1. Excellent Medium Wave antennas that can be switched by the users, some along a north-south and some on an east-west orientation, and 2. a VERY quiet site with only occasional noise.#

To give some examples:

KOMO Seattle on 1000 kHz AM
San Francisco ATC on 6655 and, new for me, 5547.
