Hello Dave and the group,
Thanks for the report - hope to catch you on LF as soon as your TX is
finished.
I am missing the former activity from the UK... now that the conditions
are improving.
The HELL transmission you caught there was actually a test, after I saw
my tuning-up tone clearly on (YXM-) Dave's grabber ... result:
Birmingham is ready for the LF season, at least RX-wise.
There was some activity by german stations, some of them quite new to LF
: Michael I DK3VK, Hajo DF5QZ, Edgar DL2HRE, and Michael II "Mr.
Microwave" DB6NT comparing his antenna in Loop-configuration and as a
toploaded vertical (the latter was two or three S-units stronger than
the loop configuration; with the same amount of wire "in the air").
Michael (II) has uploaded some photographs to his website, including
some details about the impressive antenna :

I will be QRV again tomorrow, mostly in CW .
Cheers,
Wolf DL4YHF / DK4U .
