Thanks for the qth info.
Look forward to the next day-time=20 test.

Hello all,

Nothing received from Finbar,=20 GI4DPE.
 
Location data: IN53RH, = 43=BA18=B425.83"N,=20 8=BA34=B406.82"W
Estimated path length with = GW4HXO :=20 984km, I think only 3km ground path.

The vertical antenna was damaged, so we = had to use=20 an almost horizontal (20-30=BA) HF "Delta" = antenna!
