Congratulations to all concerned in this interesting test. I wonder why it was not previously publicised via this group. Although European broadcasters would have made listening impossible, it was surely of great interest. What was ZL6QH's ERP, RF power and antenna size. Also what "coding" was used? Was there a callsign, was it QRSS, what bit rate? I would appreciate the Word file etc, so that I can give the event publicity through the RSGB's news outlets.
