Were did you learn your geography ? Hi
JX is Jan Mayen, and if he was legitimate, he is closer to NA than
anybody else in Europe, being just off the east coast of OX .
I am not sure if JX5XM is bona fide but find out. There is an old
Loran installation on the island and if that antenna is used no wonder
why he is 599 in USA!!!
