Finally my signal came out from continental Europe reaching Iceland.

44 stations copied my signal and 3 times TF3HZ received my weak signal:

The distance of 3355 Km is a new record for my 100W transmitter and the “clotheshorse” antenna in MF. For sure conditions were very good and no strong thunderstorms over the Europe last nigth as two nights before.
This good outcome is probably due to antenna improvement, last year was very difficul for me to reach England and impossible be heard from Norway, now it seems to be a daily practice.
