Jay,
yes, I absolutely agree to your point. We did want to use the upper TA window during our evenings to have a chance to get on the
BY/KL1X grabber. But I'd suggest we follow the example set by RU6LA a couple of days ago, and QSY down to the Eu transmit window
after midnight UT for possible stateside reception.
Now that everything is connected here, I intend to fire up the "NM" beacon
again on 136318.3 for the rest of tonight.
Best wishes
Markus, DF6NM

137 kHz EU stations
There are probably at least a few stations in the US (including me!) that have
been and are still interested in receiving your
signals. Unfortunately, all EU stations seem to have moved their transmitters
into the US transmitting window at 137778 kHz. When US
stations are transmitting (which is often) this prevents any chance for
reception of EU stations at many receiving locations.
Looking back at T/A captures from years past I see that the EU transmitting
window was previously centered on 136318 kHz. This
provided adequate frequency separation and I was successful at receiving
stations with even modest setups. I wonder how this
frequency change came about and whether EU stations would consider going back
to their old transmitting window. Thoughts?
