I was listening at the time, both excellent 589ish signals and way above my noise level and I heard you both repeatedly call each other. At one time I heard Brian give you (if I remember) something like 439. What I find strange is how I clearly copy stations far better than many other people. Maybe it is my vertical, with no horizontal top section, and it picks up less local QRN and more signals, or maybe it is down to the Datong UC1 and the K2 it is feeding. Be what it may, most people are absolutely clear copy (though GI3PDN was somewhat weaker last night in the short time I heard Ray). But I was really struggling to hear some of the 80m stations on the other side of the QSOs, wierd.... So my only problem is that most people can't hear me! But that is down to the sand below the lawn and the corresponding astronomic earth resistance. Only thing I can do there is to move! As to the legality of crossband, we are quite definitely normal amateur stations (with special permit to allow us to transmit on 500k). I see no problem with other countries working us crossband, just like we used to do years ago between 6m and 10m before we got that band. 73 Dave G3YMC http://www.davesergeant.com
