I had similar luck to Jay's, though I did get a couple of CQ's in a row. <g> Also used GRAB 3:5. There was a lot of interference from the LW station on 189 kHz in Iceland, at least in the late evening. But that should have faded out and left a good 2-3 hours before dawn. I have nothing else for a propagation check, so I don't know how conditions were to NC. John Andrews
