Hello, All,

This morning, 2006/05/25, at 08:13 UTC Steve, VE7SL, made a two-way QSO on 
137.5735 kHz with VY1JA using QRSS60.  His signals were so strong that in 
the end, I asked him to switch to conventional CW and he was 100% copy at 
about 12 WPM.  I hope to be able to send Steve the .WAV file and captures of 
the QSO from my end for his website.

I believe this is the first ever LF QSO from Yukon.

The transmitter at the Yukon end was Steve's old tuning transmitter running 
at its low power setting, approximately 25-30 Watts, which should be about 
0.1W ierp.

Steve should get a gold star for his skill at pulling out the weak signals.

When parts arrive in the next week or so, I will be switching the station to 
VFO control and be moving the transmitter frequency to the watering hole on 
about 137.77845

Many thanks to Steve for his patience for the 2-1/2 hours it took to get 
this QSO through.

73,

"J"
VY1JA
