That's it, Geri!

We are coming from LF to MF, so MF is not that spectacular. But if 
you're coming from HF to MF, that must be much more exciting and new to 
explore such a "low" band wher all the stuff "must" be homemade.
If they will write a report about their experiment and results, they 
will cause more interest for others, which makes the band even more 
alive. So the results can only be positive, even without 100s of QSOs.

I think it all depends on what we expect to get out of our amateur

'valuable' QSOs tonight that we will never have another chance to have
