Hi Stefan,

despite the difficult situation in Venezuela, it's good to hear from our friend Martin again! I hope that things will improve, and all will eventually turn out well for him.

Best 73,

Betreff: LF: A message from YV7MAE

Hi all,

Some of you may remeber Martin, YV7MAE. He is one of the very few OMs
who became active on 137 kHz, rx-wise. He actually received several LF
stations from the US as well as DK7FC and DF6NM. He even decoded me in
WSPR-15 some years ago on 137 kHz. So his station worked very well!! He
lives very close to the sea, so he lives in an excellent loaction for
radio reception on LF and MF!

Due to the complications in his country and personal circumstances he
was unable to take part in the amateur radio as we can do it.
A lightning destroyed all of his equipment, no telephone and internet
access for a few months...

But even in this situation he took the time to build up a receiver for
MF as well as a notebook fpr WSPR detection!!!!!
Now he wrote me an email after a months and reported exciting things.

He told me to pass these WSPR detections from the 630m band. Most
probably these are first contact to Venezuela. It is a long list of more
than 100 decodes. I'm showing unique spots:
