Topband: E31

[Victor Goncharsky]

Last night they were weaker here in Eastern EU then the two previous days.

Possibly future DX peditions will use the alternative RX antenna approach not to feed locals with cupper wires.
Fortunately, pingwins don't steal wires so hopefully the Bouvet beverages will be safe.
