Congratulations to Stefan on such great DX (1000+km). This is really good stuff. I have noticed in recent days that the Alpha stations at 11.9 and 14.8kHz seem to have stopped transmitting. I can normally hear seven stations but they have all disappeared. So I am wondering if propagation has taken a dive, or perhaps the stations have gone QRT? Has anyone over there heard the Alpha stations recently? 73 Con ZL2AFP
