I was not able to see your signals on 71.8 Khz, while Valerio do it well; the distance between us is only 35 Km and during the cross-band QSO with G3LDO I saw the signals on 71.8 almost as well as Valerio. Moreover this weekend I have spent a lot of time in calling CQ both QRSS and normal CW and listening for hours but nothing to do! The only station I have heard was OZ8NJ, he was calling CQ and was 439 by me. Yesterday I saw only DF6NM working OK1FIG, he was 'O' by me, while OK1FIG was invisible at all. 73 Cesare Cesare Tagliabue I 5 TGC e-mail: cestag@dada.it url: http://www.dadacasa.com/i5tgc -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Dave A: LF Group Data: domenica 19 marzo 2000 23.58 Oggetto: LF: cross-band conditions. >Dear all. > >I have just spent a frustrating day trying to work Valerio IK5ZPV crossband >73/136.
