Hi Paul,

Pity about the QRN - almost all of europe currently has no lightning but 
your part of the eastern baltic sea :

Anyway, thanks for 339 and hope you have a good time out there. DJ6CB 
still on frequency waiting to finish the qso..

Fb, my favourite 'holiday radio' - I also use an IC706 on MF, plus an 
extra audio filter.

The 'foot' of the MF antenna has been an antenna itself many years ago, 
I assume ?

73,
   Wolf .
