I think this is the first report I have had from YU in any mode on LF The QRN was also very strong here last night - it was still strong earlier this afternoon. Looking at the lightning activity maps, there seems to be thunderstorms in the Mediterranean just off the southern tip of Italy - perhaps this is where the noise is coming from. When I started transmitting last night, the temperature was about +2C, but as time passed the temperature dropped below freezing, causing the antenna loss resistance to drop by about 20% by 0300. It is surprising to have this much effect, because things were only frozen on the surface, as I found out splashing around in the mud when I took the antenna mast down afterwards! I will run the beacon again tonight, from 2200 - 0300utc on 137.5025kHz as before. Any reports will be very welcome. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
