Hi Dom, thanks for the report, yes the "static" from storms is always a
problem in those lattitudes. I think this is why LF and MF is predominantly
a higher latitude activity. I am sure the active guys would be interested to
know, even though your results were negative.

I had forgotten about your "expedition" It is a pity we did not announce it
on the LF reflector and tried to raise some targeted efforts. Still activity
was fairly high in the UK during that period and several stations are
running the newly allowed higher power. Also the German stations were
active.

Best Wishes
Alan G3NYK
