The reports from AC4IU were starting to look too good to be true, so
I checked (thanks to Jay, W1VD).
Sorry to say that the reception of myself and G8HUH by AC4IU was not
as exotic as it appeared. He was listening via the Netherlands webSDR
and forgot that Opera does not have a switch to turn off web
reporting (unless you disconnect the internet from the entire
computer). He is embarrassed!
Nevertheless, all of my other reports still show it was a good night
for LF DX.
