MF / LF,

Excellent MF conditions last night permitted some fine cross-band QSO's (50= 2 / 472 kHz):

DF0WD        = 21.00    599    Wol= f        Spenge  = ; 
DK6SX/P      21.19=     589    Willi        Stuttgart
DK3WX        21.38    579    Bernd      Berlin

Since receiving my NOV in March 2007 I have had 1766 QSO's on MF (including= cross-band)
I shall miss the old band and hope that the new one gives as much ple= asure.

Hopefully there will be a burst of activity to wish 501-504 kHz a fin= al farewell.
