Thanks John for the report. Very encouraging to see that 30sec dots are coming through even in indifferent conditions,and my power still 350mW!.

I am sure DFCW is the answer at least for now,until something better is thought of, Its not difficult to implement. I use a Xtal oscillator with a relay switched capacitor (two bits of wire twisted

together Hi, so I can always alter the F.Shift ).

I will shorten the dots sometime although 10 sec is rather a big jump..

Now that Rik has implemented half element spacing, we are really shortening the time scale. So as you say even the lower power stations have a chance. 73s Laurie..
