I d eleted some of the files.
Many other stations coming in but I am looking for South of the border below
the Equator and not interested in other stuff at the time.
Things are shifting. A few weeks back the action was after sunset and now it's
going the other way. I have to start at 7 PM. Also I think signals from over
the pond to Europe will start to improve.
That's it for now.
Good DX to you all, and it's all about location as the Real Estate people will
tell you.
