My comment :
- I hope this web site will not give you a crick in the neck from seeing many huge antennas.
Only frantic egghead DXers can tolerate it. Some of you may think this is a loony bin.
You bet it is!. Loony bin makes always big signal.
-Low band DX is difficult, but it is worth suffering through.
-Un bon chasseur chasse sans son chien.( A good hunter hunts without his dog.)
