Hello everybody,

Thank you, Markus for a nice QSO, at the beginning your signal was 
audible enough for a CW reception here, it degraded later though.

I am a little surprised with the strength of Loran lines this year. Last 
year they were barely visible and only at times, now it's a well audible 
clicking, almost all the time. The only change in the SP5ZCC station is 
the length of the horizontal part of the T antenna used also for 
reception (now ca. 160-180m of horizontal part). That shouldn't have 
made that big difference(?).

The grabber is running until the evening today at 
http://sq5bpm.sp5zcc.waw.pl/grab , I will probably come to the club to 
launch some CQs in the afternoon. I am not brave enough to launch the 
transmitter remotely, however I could do it from home as I have a remote 
VNC access to the PC used for LF, through a wlan 2.4GHz link ;) I hope 
that the next version of the LF transmitter will be better, so it can be 
(almost) safely remotely operated.

73! Marek SQ5BPM
