[Lowfer] 2200m TA is back

Transatlantic reception has returned with 3 decodes of DC0DX last 
night. I find this propagation very curious. The distribution in 
time seems different from 475 kHz but this may be caused by lower 
activity. On 475, best transatlantic reception is in the middle of 
common darkness, typically 0000-0300z with a few earlier and a few 
later. On 137 most of my reports have been later (after 0400z) but 
looking at the WSPRnet database one wonders if this is due to 
propagation differences or just lower activity.

I would encourage more stations in Europe to give it a try on 2200m 
WSPR-2! I am listening all night every night. So far the two 
stations heard were G8HUH (once) and DC0DX (6 nights).

If had the capability to transmit, I would try from this side!
