John,

Many thanks for the pics and for your perseverance in looking for my weak 
signals night after night. My previous Atlantic crossing was to your holiday site 
(much better for receiving Eu) and was only a fragment of a callsign, so small 
that you missed it, and it was only because you published a picture that I was 
able to spot my strange Morse. This one is much more satisfactory and a 
greater distance.

Unless anyone else is looking for Eu signals (Larry?), I will finish 
transmissions for the season, except when I see CFH at S9, and save on my 
electricity bill.

I am sure I speak for all Eu LF DXers when I thank all those in VE and W for 
their patience in monitoring over the last few months. The results this year 
have been much better than we could have hoped for.

What would be useful now are complete logs of when conditions permitted DX 
reception and when they did not. This could be correlated with the work that 
Alan is doing on CFH, and with the solar data. The key to even better 
successes (eg normal CW) is being able to predict the really big openings.

John's pictures will be on my web site tonight.

Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT)
