Hi Jay, Group.
RX is now on 472.5 kHz and TX QRV on 1825. Lets hope they resume
operations.

Does anyone know if they will be operating during the overnight period?

Of course I could hear DK0SWF calling CQ about 100 Hz away. But I had given
up, finally, after trying for the umpteenth time to get a response from
them. As Mal and others already noted, their signal was incredibly strong,
but they must have had a very, very serious problem with their receiver.
Maybe they should have asked the SWF (Südwestfunk) to close down some of
the transmitters in their vincinity ? Oh well. Hope the pilots in Poland
were not too irritated by the powerful signal, which even beat DK7FC's
signal by far !
Despite all the trouble, I was positively surprised to make a QSO with
OM1II, whom I heard earlier on, but didn't want to add to the confusion on
the semi-official "calling frequency" (472.5 kHz). Also thanks to G3KEV,
DK8KW, DJ2LF, and DF5QF for the nice QSOs. OZ7FOC was partly audible, but
difficult tonight.

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?
