When Tony, Z24EA  announced last night on 823.4 at about 2300Z he was 
QRT....he meant it.  Soon after he boarded a plane and is now back home 
in Germany.  Fernando, Z21BB told me today that  the QRN last night was 
deafening with thunder and lightning in all directions as it is their 
rainy season. Fernando promise to keep trying for NA contacts if 
conditions permit.  I suggested to him that a simple terminated single 
wire 400 to 500 foot BOG could perhaps  enhance his chances of hearing 
NA if he ran it WNW.  He also agreed to try some CQ DX NA to cut down, 
if only for a contact or two, on the wall of Europeans which are 
essentially impenetrable for most of us in the West.

Good Luck with this new one for many
