[MRCG] SPECIAL AM NETS MARK D-DAY LANDINGS

[Jason M. Atkin]

I get the impression that I probably won't be able to hear any of this at my QTH. 

Really odd frequency choices, but then again, it's Europe. US amateurs can't play unless you're an Advanced or Extra-class license holder, and have REALLY powerful gear, or very directional antennas. And definitely not on that 5Mc frequency!
Maybe on 40 meters, there's a chance of making an AM contact at those times, at this kind of distance?
