Dear LFers,

I just received information that I can launch the LF station using 
another special callsign: SP0TPAX, commemorating 80th anniversary of 
first (confirmed) international  and intercontinental QSOs made by a 
Polish amateur. The one was Tadeusz Heftman, who has been using TPAX 
callsign at that time. I've been slightly busy last weeks and didn't 
plan any special activity on 137, nevertheless I will do my best to 
launch the LF station since tomorrow afternoon at the latest. All 
contacts are highly welcome, more detailed information about the special 
callsign can be seen at http://www.qrz.com/callsign/sp0tpax .

I hope that these special calls bring some life to the 137 kHz band, 
even if the station here is far from being perfect. I must add, that 
last times the old fellow - faulty insulator/connection in the nearby 15 
kV power line got enormously loud, so it might happen that when it 
starts sparking, I may go QRT - because of getting totally deaf in terms 
of copying LF signals. My apologies in advance for that.

73! Marek SQ5BPM
