Hello everybody,

after a long time i am writing my first notice for the list, just to let you 
know i am stil alive. Hope everybody has a good start into the new year and 
maybe also most of you will have a little better receiption on the bands as i 
have right now.
For a while, quite fine band openings on 60 & 90mB to asia in the early 
evening in the first days of 2004, as well some very fine signals on 120mB from 
Australia. Also i was able to hear several times Radio Candip from Bunia on 
5066,40 khz. But since around some days, the tropical bands are nearly totaly 
closed at my Qth - so far, around every second day, i am able to catch some nice 
signals on the US-X-Band 1610 - 1710 khz with the greyline-propagation between 
around 6.30 - 7h UTC.... somtimes the signals are realy very good for this low 
Qrg and time of the day. By the way, thanks to this logs on the X-Band since 
January 2004, i am more and more interested into MW-Dxing....most surprise to 
me is the fact, that i am able to receive somtimes good signals there with only 
a vertical antenna, if i would have a wireantenna directed to the USA or so, 
- think signals have to be very strong.

Enough talks from me, wish you good receiption from out the blackforest 
region near Basel.
