In spite of the very heavy qrn/static we managed a solid qso, and he gave me 579. Band activity very low recently but I do manage a few good EU qso's every week on LF and lots of DX on the higher freqs. JA and other far East stations booming in day and night on 7 mhz. All the HF bands seem to be producing plenty of dx presently. Someone recently asked how to improve sensitivity on a IC746 on LF. I find the opposite with my antenna and have to use attenuation. If you lack sensitivity on any rig on LF - improve the antenna and that will solve your problem. G3KEV
