I thought I saw M0BMU at 2315. I had "O" copy on G3AQC and M0BMU at 0212.
     The German station at 128.9 was S-3 up until i saw it at S-5 at 0230. By 0246 QRM from 60 Hz wiped me out
      It is obvious that dfcw is far superior when it comes to speed of information transfer. I will be sending picture later
      There appears to be a third station just below G3AQC. He is lower by about 1.5 times the difference between Laurie's dots and dashes
      I'll be looking from 2100 thru 0000Z tonight and agn for short period at 0400
     I figure 30 sec dots is 10 db better than 3sec dots and from a reliability standpoint this also seems to be true. Condx like last night would never Have produced readable sigs with 3 sec dots. I reckon With good condx 100 to 200 milliwatt stations could get across . The reception of G3XDV proves this

Hi all.I was transmitting 30sec dot DFCW from 20:00 until 07:00 last night, on 135,922 +/-. I saw G3XDV above me on 135.923,but have no idea where the interleaving signal comes from.Looks like propagation still in trouble from CMEs, will try again tonight. 73s Laurie.
