Hi Stefan, been lurking here on the rsgb-lf list for about a year I 
think.  Have been on the Lowfer list for quite a few years.  Not in a 
real quiet location.  The best times to listen for Europe coincides with 
the neighborhood evening activities, not always bad but most of the 
time.  Finding the best times here seem to be around 11 pm to 3 am local 
time in the morning.  Rig is a R-75, the loop I am using at the moment 
is a Wellbrook 1530-J along with a Kiwa filter, running Argo in QRSS60 
when I am watching on 136.172.  I watch  the grabbers for prop 
indicators, and to make sure of activity.  You have been doing a great 
job, hoping for some increasing propagation this way and maybe I can get 
at least a hint of your signal over the next week or two.  Won't know if 
its possible unless I'm listening!

73, Mark, Ku7z
