I only work LF and MF CW around EU and only
use QRSS for DX when necessary.
I also get many private emails about
activities on LF/MF from those who do not want to be reflector members
and there are PLENTY
I get more reports and comments privately
than via the reflector.
There were 3 stations active this morning on
MF and NONE are reflector members !!! I have worked them many times on
cw
This is a busy time of year for me outside
also BBQ'S etc but the wx has been very wet recently but I did manage a
BBQ yesterday evening.
The Moscow grabber is useful and I was
visible early last nite around 2130 utc using QRS 30 and the band was
just opening up.
later would have been good for QRS 3 - 10 for
me but I went QRT getting too late and I am always in the shack when
the TX is on
always hoping for a QSO

At this time of year there is propagation
on both LF es MF but few are listening or transmitting.
I've been calling several times today but people prefer BBQ these days
i think...
even the majority of DX grabbers are
switched off
My DX grabber is ON but is no DX for you, sri ;-)
Lack of activity is the problem although
the winter does have advantages.
Surprised at the lack of acty on the new
472 - 479. I thought all of Germany would be calling.
I'm not in Heidelberg at the moment, otherwise i would be active, like
in the last evenings.
BTW i got several reports by email from people who aren't member of the
reflector so i think after one or two time constants for home
constructed MF stations, there will hopefully be many newcomers on the
band. We have to supply them by beeing QSO partners so stay tuned..
I'm going to play with the earth antenna soon and modify it to become a
full size dipole for 630m :-)
