Dear LF Group,

Transmitted beacon signals from 2315 until 0420 last night; I 
QSY'd slightly to 135.9233 because my usual frequency was 
already in use when I started. Due to popular demand, some time 
after midnight, I changed from the 5 dashes pattern I have been 
sending to something which should resemble my callsign - it is 
actually an improvisation obtained by putting together the 
appropriate number of 30s dashes and 10s spaces; when viewed 
in a narrow resolution, these merged together reasonably well into 
long  dots and dashes, and took about 1hour 20mins to send the 
complete call. Does anybody know of a keyer program available for 
longer dot lengths ?

I monitored VA3LK's frequency, but have just received an E-mail 
from Larry saying he would not be transmitting from Thursday 
onwards - which probably explains why I didn't receive anything! 
Larry also confirms receiving my beacon signal around midnight on 
Tuesday night.

My E-mail account does not appear to be working properly still, 
although I have received a few much delayed messages this 
morning. My apologies if anyone is expecting a reply from me - 
please try again.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
