 Dear Jim,
thanks for the info, the frequency referency here is a crystal oscillator with
a home made temperature stabilization driving a DDS,  so the drift you
reported my be an interference in the temperature controll circuit during
transmission.

I'm very discouraged by results, it seems very difficult to cross the Atlantic
from my QTH.

I will try again this night with short period of more 3 dB of power.
