Hello Jay,
Possibly yes, at least at the moment I can still hear them calling on
472.5 kHz with a piece of wire on my TS-850.
But the calling intervals are more 'widely spaced' now, hi. But the
signal from DK0SWF has dropped a lot; at the moment DK7FC (in Opera on
478.7x kHz) is stronger. Maybe they are back to the legal limit in DL,
which I think is still
1 watt ERP.
73 and gn,
Wolf

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?
