I'll tune in and see if I can grab this, noise level where I am is very high so not expecting much.

I'll give it a try and see if I can listen in, from Fort Erie Ont.

I can't find the current experimental license, but all the previous ones show as Forest, VA, specifically:

Thanks. I've been wondering if I'd ever hear anything on LW and will try to catch this tomorrow.

I may dig out my DX400 & see if I can copy this, I haven't fired up LW in years

Most portables and many desktops in the US have the sensitivity deliberately turned down on LW to avoid overloading from MW (which often doesn't work anyway). An amplified loop will be a big help

Sorry but I had a technical delay and so was about 30mins late. Have an issue (I think) with a well-(over) used RF jumper cable. Hope to have that all sorted out for Dec31st transmission.

I'll try again then, will the broadcast be at the same time?
