It is all down to the amount of help I have had from many sources....if I could crack the fading prediction we would really be there. Your signal being "right on the edge" is very useful as a guide. It only needs a few dB of extra absorption or a slight favourable fading lift and the difference is quite dramatic. Thanks to all those monitoring and posting reports....these are extremely useful....even if only for my confidence factor :-)) It is unfortunate there are no reliable steady signal sources (like DCF39) available to monitor aroung 500k.
