Enjoy your trip to Ireland Mal and hope you work some good DX from there. 

If you ever change your mind a signal from you on 8.9kHz would be very useful and it would certainly give everyone a good idea what a BIG amateur station might be capable of. If anyone could radiate a 9kHz signal a few 100 kms it would surely be you with your high antennas and proven skills.

Hi Mike
I have a good functional system installed for 137 and 500 and do not feel
like disrupting it for the Dreamers band with very limited acty.
I do have the space and radio masts to make some impression plus generators
for 9 kcs but the effort would not be worthwhile. I am kept very busy here
at this QTH and elswhere and do not really have the time. Off to Ireland
soon to the alt QTH and more work !!!! I do have a 120 feet mast installed
there so might work you on 500 if I get time. I usually take a rig with me
and have worked LF/MF from there in the past. Look out for GI3KEV/Tyrone, a
few miles to the west of Lough Neigh - good take off for LF/MF
73 De Mal/G3KEV

I wish the Dreamers luck.
