Hi all - a couple of Romanians showed up last night that I hadn't heard
before. Both relatively low power, 15 kW.
Kind regards,

Completely dominating KVI Seattle. 7:35-7:46 PDT. Signal is now even with KVI

Any ideas?

Unlike my AZ neighbor to the north, Bill, 1566 HLAZ was doing well,
though maybe a little down from most mornings. Many lo/mid band hets,
few top band. Another LF morning made for only a few, mostly end, MW checks.
