RE: LF: 74.5495 QRSS 60 2300 till 0500+Mike

Mike;
Fabulous captures-I don't know of anyone operating higher up the band only below me as there are Loran artifacts higher up-Dex on 74.5485 and John at 74.5478 or .5475
Being weekend tomorrow I hope there will be late activity tonight and I will be on until at least 0600.
Can you give me little info on your RX equipment and what antenna are you using [active or passive]?  Bob

Mike;
I shut down at 0500 as I didn't see even a trace on Hatmut's grabber!  You have some great captures and will let it run tonight till after 0600.  It is strange that the skywave only makes it so far and some nights just stops short of Germany.
If you are up early shoot me an e mail if you want it to run longer than 0600.  G4WGT's grabber is not sensitive enough to show anything so I only have Hartmut's grabber to go by-Bob
