Slightly increased the current and made the patio look better!. Was rewarded by a CW QSO with OH1TN at 1783km, my second with him. Conditions around Europe seemed good all weekend with CFH audible much of the time. QRSS30 seen from VO1NA at dawn, but not strong. Lots of activity: Worked F6BWO and DF0WD on CW. On QRSS3 worked OK2BVG and a new station to me G3WCB whose 5 watt Tx was just audible. Heard CW from DK7SU, SM6BHZ (who did not hear me or G3AQC calling), G3YXM, G3XIZ, DL3FDO, G3OLB and M0BMU. Also saw some spectacular Hell from DF0WD (pic on my web site). Mike, G3XDV http://lf.apersonalguide.co.uk
