I took a listen down on= 136kHz last night Chris, using my 500kHz
resonant vertical and my Dato= ng UC/1. I heard you calling CQ on CW, and
presumably you also on QRSS= something or other a bit later. The antenna
of course was WAY off resonance so you were pre= tty weak - DCF39 was
only s8.

in the dustbin by the vertical. The res= ulting 9.8mH should according to
