DX is always a relative thing, one man's meat is another man's 
poison...

As the first morning with my newly resonated 160m vertical I did not 
hear any dx myself though there were plenty of chaps calling CQ DX 
with no results (but don't think I heard you calling Mal...). I 
slightly cheekily though called EA6SX who was calling CQ DX and 
grabbed a quick QSO with him, a new 2007 band slot. Last night I 
worked LX2007L, another new band slot. Both on 5W output.

I do though have a QRM problem on that band in the form of a 
broadband buzzin which I suspect is coming from a local TV - it was 
not there this morning. Not had any such problems on 500kHz though, 
but it does seem the local QRM problems are getting worse and worse.
