Hi Mike, LF,

Well after a lot of hair tearing & cussing I have finally got 2 grabbers
running.

Grabber1 is covering 500 to 504 KHz
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/wgtaylor/grabber1.html

Grabber2 is covering 504 to 508 KHz
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/wgtaylor/grabber2.html

Give them a try & let me know.

Gary - G4WGT.

Hi Gary,

That will work fine. Conditions were different last night. I noticed the 
band got shorter as the night progressed. The guys over here will keep 
trying. We will never know unless we try. Just like a HF band supposedly 
being dead but when a contest starts up, the band has lots of DX...
