I don'n know if he regularely checks this reflector, but if you want to contact him, his e-mail address is MarkusVester@aol.com. Best 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW) http://www.qru.de P.S. The storm prevented me from erecting my 18m fibreglas-supported umbrella antenna, so no activity from my side this weekend. I used the time to build a solid 1m diameter untuned loop to do some calibrated field-strength measurements. I will come up with some results, especially on DCF39 (DBF39 or however the call is, in their test transmissions parallel to the 129.1 kHz qrg they even use DCF49 ...) soon. In the moment there is a discrepancy betwen the calculated field strength at my QTH and my measurements of about 6 or 7 dB, so either the Burg transmitter has more power than we expected or my measurments are nuts. For those of you who can read German: there is a homepage of the company running that transmitter (http://www.efr.de) with some technical details and map depicting the expected field strength of both transmitter, Mainflingen and Burg, in Germany.
