Hi Stefan

I just got your reference in your last upon reviewing the 153 plot in 
detail this evening.

I agree there appears to be a trace on 153000.0Khz that could  be either 
or both of 7X and DL.

I have no explanation for this other than maybe solar activity as it is 
way early compared to last year's data...

Hmmmm....!

Too bad Mal just doesn't have a decent enough station to make it here... ;-)
