Hi Alan , Andy , Warren ,

If I read you well ! I can arrange my LF 137 Khz until the next solar=20
cycle !
To stop the grabber which have not seen anything any more for one month !
and to make another thing ! I find that it will be interesting to study=20
the increase
of the solar activity, perhaps would have surprises ! ..... ( I remember=20
to have
copied good signals of Warren in August )
