Tommyknocker, I usually fire up the shack around 0530GMT, as I work second
shift. Although conditions are far from Utopia, I have noticed the 41 meter
band settling down a bit. Radio France Intl., Deutsche Welle, Vatican Radio,
Radio Nederland in Flevoland, and of course the 1/2 mega-watters Tunisia, and
Turkey are all rolling in well here in the Midwest. After Radio Nederland signs
off at 0700 on 7125khz, I usually get a fairly good copy of Guinea, Conakry.
Last week at this time, the band was dead as a doornail. Good DXing to you,
Gary
