Based on their grid square, they are located at the very south end of the island so maybe they are far enough away from the bulk of noise to have some decent RX.

Of course, Macau is basically just a great big city rather than a “country” that’s the largest casino and gambling center in the world. There’s really no where to go to get away from all the noise. I only need it on 160 but my hopes aren’t too high. The prop window is very very short.

Congratulations! I noticed those reports. Sounds like they’ve got a noise problem. Doesn’t bode well for the low bands.

I was surprised with a -24 signal report seeing them so strong but I got a 73 and in the log!
