Hi George and all, good to know that it's worth to switch to western RX-Antennas quite early! I think the problem for US-Stations copying EU before their SS is that most Europeans listen to the east at that time. Do you see any difference at signal-angle on receiving before sunset? I worked UK9AA a couple of weeks ago before my SS but he was not readable / workable with low-angle antennas, but with a simple dipole I got him.
Have tried to call me, George? Next time I will use W and N/W RX-Antennas also :-) 73 de Andre, DL4UNY On 12/06/2011 06:07 PM, George Taft wrote: > > Hi Andre > > And I can attest.
