He has seen nil from VE1ZZ this night but is happy he has been seen at the other side of the pond. According to my calculations, this is at least a new LF world record, bridging 5697 km (if my estimation of VE1ZZ's QTH as FN84CM is correct). Conditions were obviously not good enough over to the European continent, I myself saw no signs from Canada until 03.30 UTC when I could see very weak traces ('T') of a QRSS signal on 136.500 kHz. Petr and Jiri will remain QRV until about noon today and then go home. According to what I have seen on the cluster they were heard quite well all over Europe, reports came in from Estland and even Moscow. They might try to put up an lw-antenna later today to try some crossband QSOs. Any news from our crew in the US? I keep my fingers crossed for G0MRF/P <--> VE1ZZ tonight! Keep up the good work, its fun to participate as an observer (and with my qrp-erp at least being able to qsp ...). Best 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)
