MM0ALM was a very big signal here at the weekend; about 25uV/m near 
Hatfield, certainly impressive.

I heard OH5UFO calling CQ using QRSS3 late one night a week or so ago - 
also a strong signal. I called him, but got no response, so perhaps Reino 
had dozed off - a problem I have had myself more than once :-)

I put together a frequency-shifting device over the weekend; it takes a 
signal at about 5kHz from a sound card and shifts it into the 136kHz range. 
I hope to use it to do some tests using Jason 0.92 over the next couple of 
days - as soon as I remember what all those wires trailing around my shack 
do, and figure out a sensible way of connecting it all up!

Cheers, Jim Moritz
