For a start I am not always in the shack to observe received signals but =
this morning I did observe your on/off elements then a decode.
Normally I use my E/W LOOP for EU reception and reports and in this case =
I do not hear/see N/S ie cannot see or decode ur signal.
I did however switch to the inv L antenna to compare signals and did get =
a decode on you.=20
When I get time I will have a look at your QRS3 properly on Speclab

  The QRS3 Opera challenge has been running for almost 24 Hours now, =
continuously, I initially proposed it as a one shot operation.

  Last night I asked G3XIZ to read my Phantom QRS3 to ensure that it is =
readable and at S6 it certainly was.

  Many stations have decoded my OPERA during the period. NO ONE except =
XIZ has reported the QRS3.

  OPERA (and by default from previous tests WSPR) has won hands down.

  G3KEV has received my signal several times :- 11:11    500 G3ZJO de =
G3KEV Op4 229 km -27 dB in SCARBOROUGH

  .and observed at least once :-

    G3ZJO decoded and stopped at 1057 z TRACE visible during =
transmission. I happened to be in the shack to observe
  Please can we keep this practical test on a sensible technical level.
