Klaus, Mal et al,

Strong signals here from DK0SWF on 472.4kHz in Shetland, IP90gg

Calling CQ ad infinitum, while also 60Hz higher I also copy DF0WD 
calling CQ too. I assume neither station can hear each other?
While I applaud any new MF activity, I wonder why, if DK0SWF are unable 
to receive efficiently on their antenna, they call CQ?
Surely if this is a "one time" opportunity to transmit from "SWF" and 
reception is impossible they could do something else with the time on 
the air. A WSPR transmission for the same length of time would gather 
much more usefuly information than calling CQ with no hope of hearing 
any replies?
