Hi everyone:
Conditions were not very good for transatlantic reception this weekend. Although I did manage to hear quite a few stations on 48 and 52 m, reception was weaker than usual, and 76m faded in so late that I only caught a couple station's carriers before they closed down.
On the plus side, I am now getting home from work earlier on weeknights, so I am logging some stations during the week (particularly Americans).
