Hi John (and others),

Thanks again for listening out for me on 500kHz WSPR. The only reports
overnight were from G3XVL in Ipswich, a path that seems to be very reliable
from here even with my tiny QRP set-up.

Although I will run the beacon again overnight tonight, it looks like I need
to improve my antenna, ground and TX power to get more range. These are all
things I shall address when I get back from holiday. The TX transverter will
easily convert to a full RX/TX transverter, so with a bit more power I can
have a go at some CW QSOs as well.

I've been a late starter with my 500kHz NoV, but I can't tell you how much
fun this is now. The breakthrough was realising that although big antennas,
lots of power and large low loss ATUs are "a good thing" they are not a *
necessity* to get results, at least with WSPR.

Thanks again for the encouragement given here by everyone.
