A 5 Element Yagi Up 90', and a Linear Amp Would really help on this one. I can hear them near DC on 20m and 30m with a 25 foot high delta loop and a big vertical respectively, but not much chance of working them. I'm hoping to put up a BS7H-special antenna tonight, vertical beam right on them

Punishing all operators from a particular region because a few misbehave just increases the frustation level and puts more QRM on the DX frequency. Thanks for us, europeans. I guess that with BS7H now on, we'd better be prepared to listen to the US crybabies. That's the risk, for sure. But
