I assume neither station can hear each other? < Of course I could hear DK0SWF calling CQ about 100 Hz away. But I had given up, finally, after trying for the umpteenth time to get a response from them. As Mal and others already noted, their signal was incredibly strong, but they must have had a very, very serious problem with their receiver. Maybe they should have asked the SWF (Südwestfunk) to close down some of the transmitters in their vincinity ? Oh well. Hope the pilots in Poland were not too irritated by the powerful signal, which even beat DK7FC's signal by far ! Despite all the trouble, I was positively surprised to make a QSO with OM1II, whom I heard earlier on, but didn't want to add to the confusion on the semi-official "calling frequency" (472.5 kHz). Also thanks to G3KEV, DK8KW, DJ2LF, and DF5QF for the nice QSOs. OZ7FOC was partly audible, but difficult tonight. 73, Wolf DL4YHF / DF0WD > > While I applaud any new MF activity, I wonder why, if DK0SWF are > unable to receive efficiently on their antenna, they call CQ? > > Surely if this is a "one time" opportunity to transmit from "SWF" and > reception is impossible they could do something else with the time on > the air.
