Was able to copy the beacon well all morning till about 14:35 when local qrm made copy difficult. I had been using a 10 mtr vertical with top loading but when copy became bad I switched to my 40 square mtr single turn loop (pointing North/South) and your beacon was back with an RST of 459 and well above the local qrm. I had been working in the shack all morning and most of the afternoon listening to 137 kHz but your beacon could be heard in the background thanks to my 500 Hz "barn door" IF filter. Funny thing is....I can still hear the beacon with the rig switched off :-) Must be over exposure to cw. 73's all, Des. Des Kostryca (M0AYF) G.Q.R.P. no. 9788 I.A.R.U. loc. IO93OJ W.A.B.
