Maybe not at ur QTH but certainly around the Boston area and Canada some
years back. MM0ALM was the strongest signal from the UK and at that time
signals from the rest of EU were generally weak. EI0CF was also a strong
signal in the USA. Both are now QRT on LF and I only come on at selected
times in QSO mode. After a few calls if no one replies I QRT.
Not interested here in pumping out Beacon mode 24/7 in the hope of a QSL
EMAIL from Bandjudestrahta
Merry Xmas
