D3AA was in here for several hours on topband last night and peaking 569
but the QSB was rapid. Between D3AA and RI1ANF there has been plenty of
interest every evening from my SS. I am certain many will be waiting for
D64K to show up on 160 tonight. The real test is if there is any
interest in NA if D64K shows as the EU wall would be many db stronger
than the strongest East Coast station. It could end up a big
disappointment for the shorter summer window to that part of the world
especially if the signal is good but the RU callers are just to many and
to strong. Either way, a chance is better than none at all..
