Hi Peter.  I believe  10 second dashes were seen by G0MRF   right after I first
had the xband  qso with Dave I called Jack VE1ZZ on landline and he came on .
Dave heard his 10 second dashes but Jack  did not have qrss cap then and all he
sent was the dashes.  I'm 99 % certain you were the first to receive and
identify  and record  a North American stn in Eu on 136 kHz.   Agn
congratulations es gl with 2 way
       Jack and MM0ALM will also be trying for 2 way with regular cw  I believe
MM0ALM  put up a larger antenna today

       73 es gl with tests tonight  John VE1ZJ
