Yeah interesting, I'm in California and my experience matches the other guy in California. I never hear anything below 7.040. It makes sense though, Europe is tough from California. I think it's the north pole, which is a black hole for RF. We drive all the east coast stations insane, because we don't hear a peep and walk all over the EU DX they are trying to work.
