Then how do you think it is "up" here in SM ? I have about 3 stations (that I know of) within a radius of 250km. To Denmark it is 500km which equals the distance between London and Edinburgh. Within this radius I could imagine that there is below 10 stations more or less active. The lack of activity was the reason for sending a mail to the reflector on april 17 concerning a try to concentrate the activity to certain times. This mail has been completely ignored on the reflector so I thought this was no problem and that the band was always crowded and I (and my receiver) are totally deaf although DCF is 25-30dB over S9 !!!! Unfortunately I can only be QRV on LF from my summer-QTH due to space and noise problems. Until today I have been out there about 8 weekends this year, listening and calling CQ for hours each time, only broken up by coffee break. This has resulted in that I have worked all the stations I have heard with a grand total of one (1) QSO and that was DL2HRE which was worked in january. Now the low activity has solved itself very easily for me as the antenna has fallen down. ======== Urban, There is CW activity every weekend, and some weekdays. Just take a look at my web site to see what I hear in between monitoring for QRSS. I have heard you calling CQ and have called you many times. I have also heard several German stations calling you. Perhaps you suffer from local noise? There are several UK stations with much higher ERP than me that you should be able to hear. Maybe some skeds would help. Your recent e-mail suggested some times to concentrate activity, but these are already times when there is activity, so perhaps that is why you did not get any comments. I wish you better luck next winter. Mike, G3XDV http://www.lf.thersgb.net ====================
