Thanks Bernie for passing information about the last
day activity of 9Q5BQ. We had VERY big storms
yesterday but anyway I had a luck...
Pierre was not too strong,about 459 here with deep QSB.
Here is a part of his e-mail :

My rig is:
TS-50  without amplifier with bad RX selectivity
It is really not a good station for big pile-up 
and low frequancies opration.

Antenna:
8 el log periodic cushcraft 14 to 30 mhz up 15 meters

horizontal loop made with 50 meters of electric wire 
with SGC tuner only 10 meters up !!!!!

I have been surprise to be able to work EU with
this antenna on 160 and 80 meters.
I also worked some W6 on 30 meters at 01z

I made about 20 stations on 160 meters. EU only

I will be back home tomorrow at noon.
