As you will have read, we have also been listening to some of the stations using an old Bush AC34 tube receiver, connected to a small indoor loop antenna. It has been no problem to receive the stations with higher power... it will be an interesting experiment to try and hear some low power stations now

On Monday we heard Toekomst during the very early afternoon at 1330 UTC. This is the first time we have heard activity from the Netherlands on MW at this time as the conditions are usually not right to give reception. We will be listening again at this time over the next few days to see what we can hear!

There was lots of qso activity on Monday evening and it was good to hear Grote Versierder for the first time and also to hear Ome Jan coming in well during a late-night test

Ok, that's all for now
All the very best
David
