Hi David,

no I haven't, but I posted a copy of the mail to the 600m group.

The activity of the XSH group is low. The "WD2XSH/WE2XGR 600m
Activity" report shows only 5 members of the XSH group active in
September. Some of the members were never or only very few times
active since they got the license on 600m.
I hope there will be more activity from the new XGR license.

In comparison with the rest of the night the signal level 22:15-22:35
was very stable on a high level.
