More Logs, December 23 and Xmas cards received

Hi everyone:

Happy Tibb's Eve, as December 23 is known in Newfoundland.

Conditions were good on 48 m tonight.  It seems long skip again, since signals were skipping over listeners in Europe, but landing nicely here.  Cupid had a nice long show, and Boomerang had one of the strongest signals I have heard in a long time (but he did not stay on the air long).

Also, mw was fairly good.  Oliebollenbakker jumped the pond again and I heard Havana for the first time.

Thanks guys.

Logs, July 10

Yesterday I hooked up an antenna tuner (MFJ-948) to see if it would improve signals.  After comparing results with and without the tuner, it does give a few extra s points to strong signals on some bands (notably 19, 53 and 76 m), but seems to have little effect on 43 and 48 m.  Not sure if this is normal behaviour for a tuner, but I will take every s point I can get.
