There seems to be a serious difference in propagation between the VE-UK and
VE-central Europe. CHF was often reported in the UK with signals up to 10dB
better than I could copy it and if I remind well the difference with DK8KW
(who lives pretty close to DCF39) was even more.
A 10dB less path loss from west-UK seems realistic.

There has been much discussion about Antennas and ERP, would you all humour
me with a discussion, as vigorous as possible, on TWO issues of path loss...
The first, the difference in path loss from DCF39 Transmitter location in
Germany to a good location on the west coast of the UK, EI, GW, G, GM.......
and second, the difference in path loss from the EAST coast of Newfoundland
from an inland site in Eastern Ontario. My home is about 1600 kms west of
the Newfoundland coast.
