There have been several spots in the dx cluster and i got many mails from OMs who heared a CW signal on LF for the first time. Some stated they become intersted to "try some tests" on LF. Maybe a CW beacon is a good alternative to wake some interest in that band for newcomers, at least in a radius of 2000 km, with some luck. :-) I think i will run the beacon over night and tomorrow. Level is at -4 dB f.s. 73, Stefan/DK7FC
