I just worked RN6BN on Normal CW at 2139 utc he was 579 and gave me 539. A good solid QSO in spite of some QRN.

I think this is possibly the first hand sent normal speed CW qso between the UK and Russia on 137 khz.

The rig this end was my home brew FET amp and the 4 x Inv L array for both TX and RX.

Not so much activity noticed this weekend although there were a few active from around EU.

Tnx Sam for the QSO and hope to do it agn soon.
