THE HAMRADIO DOT COM

Here are my loggings between the 5th and the 22nd of February. I could easily say that this is possibly the best (station qualitywise) log blog post here ever. The evening of the 5th had outstanding sunset-propagation to ME/MA-region around 2200z. Next days provided such a stations as Radio Curom and VON on 860 kHz. The 12nd in the morning there was short peak to Lima with very rare midband Peru stations etc.
