Topband: Amazing night

[DL4UNY - Andre]

Hi George and all,
good to know that it's worth to switch to western RX-Antennas quite 
early! I think the problem for US-Stations copying EU before their SS is 
that most Europeans listen to the east at that time. Do you see any 
difference at signal-angle on receiving before sunset? I worked UK9AA a 
couple of weeks ago before my SS but he was not readable / workable with 
low-angle antennas, but with a simple dipole I got him.

Have tried to call me, George? Next time I will use W and N/W 
RX-Antennas also :-)

73 de Andre,
DL4UNY
