Thanks Rolf for trying to work me the past two nights. It seems we
are having very bad luck with the QSB. Your RX is better than mine
but we did see that I can RX you to at least -23 which is good
enough if we can just have some luck, hi !

Looking at the log you posted today, I see I was called by some
other DX I did not copy. Very sorry for that too. I did work G3KEV
and DL6TY as you know.

I saw you had my signal up to -6dB again last night. Truly amazing!

73 / GL

Probably I will be QRV again tonight.
