Carl and Greg,

I fully agree with your comments and just updated these pages on my website, 
after the last two openings with ZL3IX:
http://www.iv3prk.it/new-zealand.htm
http://www.iv3prk.it/oceania.htm
http://www.iv3prk.it/last-3-months.htm

It would be interesting to keep propagation tests with you Greg also during 
the years of solar maximum!

Merry Christmas and an Happy New Year to all
