Hi Mike, LF,
Well after a lot of hair tearing & cussing I have finally got 2 grabbers
running.
Grabber1 is covering 500 to 504 KHz

Grabber2 is covering 504 to 508 KHz

Give them a try & let me know.
Gary - G4WGT.

Hi Gary,
That will work fine. Conditions were different last night. I noticed the
band got shorter as the night progressed. The guys over here will keep
trying. We will never know unless we try. Just like a HF band supposedly
being dead but when a contest starts up, the band has lots of DX...
