Hello Mal,

" ... give your dream a due-date and you have got a project ..."

we *do* have a due-date: 

in December 1901, Marconi crossed the Atlantic (Ireland/New Foundland) on
300 kHz. 
Latest by December 2001 *we* should have achieved this on 136 kHz! 

Mal, great that you have found places where to erect antennas, our
collegues in VE/VO also are rigging up their towers. I would love to
participate in a dx-pedition to EI/GI (being an "Irish folk-music lover",
see http://www.piperswine.de, tomorrow is St. Patrick's day, so no QSOs
early on Saturday morning ...)

Best 73


Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)

P.S.: Mal, how did you get that EI callsign? As you know, I collect
callsigns  ;-)   and my EI visitor's callsign EI4VTT, that I got based on
my US license but was never able to use was retrieved after the people in
Dublin realized that I also hold a German callsign ...
