Heard : IK5ZPV (peaking 569), MM0ALM (peaking 559) and SM6PXJ (peaking 539) All signals had slow QSB and were going up and down by about 10dB. QRN level was better than during the weekend but stil rather high. Remarkable was that during the QSO of MM0ALM with SM6PXJ Christer was only 429 with me while he received a 569 report from MM0ALM. Distance from me to SM6PXJ (1031km) is very comparable to the distance MM0ALM-SM6PJX (937km). So this confirms what I noted last winter when several G's / GW / EI were working OH1TN with good signals while I could hardly copy Reino : the more north the propagation path the stronger the signals. Based on that there should be a good chance to cross the atlantic on a path between GM or EI at the European side and VO at the American side. Distance is in the 3500km range and the path is very north. 73, Rik ON7YD PS : I called all 3 stations but no response :-( Rik Strobbe ON7YD rik.strobbe@fys.kuleuven.ac.be Villadreef 14 B-3128 Baal BELGIUM (JO20IX)
