That is all I heard!From reading other postings it seems that many of the regular operators were on,but not audible here.I can’t believe that I couldn’t hear Spaceman or Borderhunter as they are normally huge signals here.Even Zodiac is normally heard here.But judging from the reports,the short skip was poor but long skip was good,as can be seen by reports from Toutatis in SW.France.I am curious,what was the groundwave like in The Netherlands for the Dutch pirates?
LHH seemed to have a much better signal here on 6275Khz than on 6285Khz,or was it just for this weekend?In any case,many operators favorite frequency is now taken.Do LHH really need to be on so many frequencies?
It was different here for MW though,much busier,I will post my reports for MW on the MW list.
