Did see OH1TN calling G3YXM and G3LDO, but I don't think Reino could see my signal. Will have another try for cross-band QSO's tonight, if I can find a clear frequency! Interesting to see how things have changed for 73kHz in the space of a few weeks; the amazing results that have been acheived seem to be not so much due to technical improvements or good propagation, but more to there being plenty of activity on the band. Spent some time over the weekend working on my ground system - this does not seem to have made much difference to it's electrical performance, but at least it is not so easy to fall over it now! Hope to see some activity later, any reports would be very welcome. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
