To all the German operators my sincere thanks and very well done.
There is an Argo-gram of DF6NM/P on my web pages.

To Mal, providing the calibration of my system is not too far off
the highest field strength received was -2dBuV/m at 11:54utc and
I was only "just" hearing some of the transmission in the noise.  The
noise floor is -10dBuV/m in 1Hz always remembering the sampling
parameters set within SpecLab.  Do you really think that I would
even be able to find a 1watt ERP transmission at over 1000Km
with ears alone during daylight?

YES - I can copy all the dx during the day, in fact at times better, OH1TN
is often just as strong during daytime, the same applies to the IT5
stations. The signal over noise frequently better during daytime.
G3KEV


Nevertheless I was overjoyed to actually "hear" an LF transmission
for the first time and copy "BMU" during the QSO with Jim.

Thanks again for an exciting day, Brian
