I think that the closest (and strongest) station for you is DF2PY in JN49AX, at about 560km from you. He has a very strong TX signal and has been heard at over 1000km (by EI0CF). I believe that DF2PY has no e-mail but he can be contacted via DJ8WL (who will probably read this message). I am willing to put a testsignal for you also, but the distance is about 800km and I have only about 125mW ERP at the moment. If you could hear me it would mean that you have an excellent RX situation ! Regarding best times : for groundwave at this time of the year the early morning might be best. Evenings are good for skywaves, but QRN can be very high as we go to summer. 73, Rik Rik Strobbe ON7YD rik.strobbe@fys.kuleuven.ac.be Villadreef 14 B-3128 Baal BELGIUM (JO20IX)
