    The Pacific and Australia have been doing real well here in Kentucky in the evenings here. Lots of stations worked this week. Looks like Europe has died out for the spring and summer.

    New Starduster Antenna

    I have never had a Sirio antenna but seems like 75 percent of the stations I work in Europe are using them. The other 25 run an Antron 99.
