Mainly because the world doesn't revolve around what you may or may not have worked. Someone in LA-land is interested in propagation from his station and he's set up a way of investigating it. Perhaps, unbelievably, he's interested in reports from places other than Scarborough? The beacon is outside the UK allocation so you can't even complain about the beacon wasting you precious bandwidth. He cares nothing that you've worked 2 LAs, and neither do the rest of us. LA1ASK/B has been Q5 throughout the day here, not overly strong by consistent. There's not much darkness now at this latitude, so I doubt there'll be much change over the full 24 hours. John
