Make sure you listen on the correct GRI's, some tables still list the
long abandoned 3-digit USCG chains, rather than the 4-digit NELS chains:
Eiði, GRI=9007
Lessay, GRI=6731
Sylt, GRI=7499
Værlandet, GRI=7001
For what it's worth, I have never been able to more than barely detect
the 9960 chain from here in Denmark, and that was only after a major
DSP exercise...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
