Antarctic DX Net:
Due to poor conditions on 20 mts, we plan to move our usual DX Net on 40 meters
(7.078/7.080 MHz) more or less at 23:00/ 00:00 GMT on week ends. Once again LU1ZV Esperanza,
LU4ZS Marambio joined us with big signals.
In addition, according to LU4DXU (pic on the left), today, Sunday 18th, LU1ZV Esperanza
(WAP ARG-O4) op. Edgardo, LU1ZG Belgrano 2 (WAP ARG-O6) op.Martin, LU1ZD San Martin
(WAP ARG-O8) op. Daniel,  could appear at 18:00Z on 14.315 Mhz,  but we are pessimist due
to the very low sun spots numbers.
