Overnight on 472kHz

Overnight 472kHz was quite productive and certainly the best night so far on the band this late summer.

Best DX copied here using the barefoot and somewhat deaf FT817 and earth-electrode "antenna" was DH5RAE (995km). The best report of my own 5mW ERP was by PA3ABK (306km) overnight. Others who copied my tiny signal were G6AVK (78km) and G8LCO (58km).

    Last night you were very close to a beacon carrier, it might help to shift 10Hz or so!
    Best regards
