[Lowfer] DK7FC WSPR-15

[Bob Raide]

John;
Conditions very poor starting out on 137 last night.  No T/A decodes until after 0330 and Iceland wasn't in until 0215 or so.  Surprising was very early hit on John Gibbs -VE7BDQ very early on.   So some propagation going west along with your reports.  Am going to try again tonight hope for better conditions-Bob
