But the fact that they are far more west compared to DCF39 may nibble of some dB's. In case Larry (or some others at the other side of the pond) watch the signal with Spectogram it might be a good idea to add 5 to 10 second 'dash' while beaconing (or next best a series of dashes). I won't have much time to spend on LF next weekend, but I keep my fingers crossed for the 'decca test'. 73, Rik ON7YD At 10:36 14/04/00 +0000, you wrote: >so it might be worth the people across the pond having a listen over >the weekend. > >Cheers, Jim Moritz >73 de M0BMU > >
