I've set up a temporary LF receiver near Kiryat Shmona
http://no.nonsense.ee/qthmap/?qth=3DKM73TD18KG ,
uploading TA and Eu slots to the dropbox file normally used for MF
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26404526/df6nm_MF.jpg .

This is only a low active antenna outside the window, so the local noise =
baseline is far from optimal. The internet connection is "borrowed" from =
a friendly neighbour so probably not too reliable either.=20

Looking out for WSPR-15 and (perhaps) Opera-32 as well.

Best 73,
