They have been readable here on 160 in the evenings, calling CQ but few
QSO's when I listened. Assume they have plenty of local noise.
Have not even bothered to call as my Alpha 89 died and barefoot will just
not do it.
Very good sigs on 40 as can be expected, working USA like crazy and MOST
EU stations manage to be patient when they say NA ! Hi.
