Hi Pete,

what power / ERP were you running ?
When conditions are good (good propagation, low QRN) 10mW ERP should 
be enough for a basic CW QSO.
Yesterday a QRSS QSO was possible, your signal was a solid "O".

BTW: last night I was running 270W output power, antenna current 
2.15A. The calculated (simulated) radiation resistance is 0.42 Ohm 
and the antenna "gain" 1.4dBd, so my theoretical ERP was about 2.7W 
(close to the legal limit of 5W EIRP), but I guess that quite a bit 
of power is absorbed by the greenery surrounding the antenna. So the 
real ERP might be something like 1.5 to 2W ERP.

Yes I have been running short QRSS sessions with my new higher powered TX
so hopfully it was me. I will be out of the loop for about 7 days but
will look out for you when I get back. My CW is poor so it will be rubber
stamp if we make a contact. I have heard you working G3XIZ in the past he
is located about 14km from here.<br>
