You always have a moan about not being heard down south.

The first QSO in my log was GM3ZUK at 595Km as invariably I start out 
beaming up the "spine" of the UK. Never heard you even though I swept 
the band many times while beaming your way. You are slightly closer than 
ZUK at 574Km. From memory he was a very good signal.  I also worked EU 
stations at 600+Km with best being 732KM.

 From my QTH, conditions were neither good nor bad just normal 
troposcatter range. Seems to me you were just not on the band when I was 
on from 1930 to 2040.
