I would have given him RST 569...579. However, the SPECTROGRAM print is impressive as well. What happened in the ionosphere yesterday and today? Is there more to expect tomorrow/this week ? Gentlemen, check the SCW-Window (137.6-137.8) for "DX"! BTW: there is a German LF-expedition scheduled for the weekend of April 10-11th. Big, tall antenna, excellent ground system, several RXs and RX-aerials. QTH JN40BP. More details to follow soon...Callsigns: DJ8CY, DJ2LF, DJ8WL (+ XYLs) and most likely DA0LF again on the air!
