Hi Andy, group.

I have been monitoring 507.3 on and off for about a week
but have yet to see any trace of your sigs on this side of the pond.

There have been no recent reports of VX9MRC on 507.77 kHz crossing
the ocean either with PA3CPM watching very closely.

Sorry to hear about your WX.  It could be worse... we've seen
the sun for about 3 hours in the past 3 weeks and now its snowing!
