Note:

- Also some listeners were listening to SAQ via a WebSdr receiver located in Delft, The

Netherlands, run by PA3WEG/Wouter Weggelaar.

All well done as a compliment, but no QSL-cards are given to these people.

One was from Japan, one from India, one from USA, two from France and one from

Germany.

- Also read our web site for reports via our Forum. Not for QSL-card.
