Hi Alan
 
Well   everything  is  going  South  = in=20 more  ways  than one  ,  2  nights  = ago =20 I was  decoding  with   10 = watts  with =20 Halldor ,  to  night ,   not  a  = beep ,=20
pa3abk  also  only  showing  south  .. = not =20 ideal  ,  but  there  are =20 monitors    mid  uk ,   south coast =20 and  France ,  so  if the  Icelandic  path = is  blocked ,  the  close in  stations =20 should   see  something ,  Top  Band is  = now =20 also  showing  in Iceland ,  A middle  UK = Top=20 band  Rx  station  would  complete the  = Opera =20 input to  the  event ..
