einen Hinweis welche Bänder von Europa um 0100-0200 UT gehen,
von vor Ort, wird man doch leicht erlangen können.

G.E. zeigt einen azimuth von 214 degr, 13.808 km Distanz.
UTC sollte wohl -3hrs sein.

Kostinbroad zeigt 6 Vorhangantennen in Richtung 195 Grad, wenn denn die 
Kupferdiebe noch nicht 'gehamstert' haben, ha ha.
