I'm interested...but the success rate EU > US has been somewhat disappointing so far. For all of the 
transmitting time so far I have copied only three lines successfully. Nonetheless I'd be interested 
in trying. Before setting things up for a QSO perhaps we should try the US > EU part of the link to 
see how reception is on your end. I'll need some help picking a clear frequency. First preference 
would be 508.5 kHz (507.0 kHz dial) although any frequency between 508.0 and 510.0 kHz would be 
available.
Please advise. Let me know early enough in the day and I can have it on the air that 
evening...weather permitting, of course. Moderate to sever icing conditions necessitate lowering of 
the vertical/tophat.

p.s. Suggest we start listing frequencies as above to eliminate any confusion...or just list as 
'507.0 kHz dial' and forget the actual transmitted frequency...
