Hi Jay, Brian sold up the family home and plot in Porto (I think there was a 
fair bit of land) I think for development and moved out with his wife to 
Affife about 50km north of Porto near the coast. He started to reinstal 
aerials and had a solid outbuilding (shack/workshop build by local labout) 
and did some interesting measurements of his take off angle (sandy soil) but 
never got the enthusiam back for LF. I get an occasional phone call from him 
but the last was a year or so back. He had become deeply involved in 
building a Solar PV system with battery storage.

You can't keep a good engineer down:-))

Keep an eye open for late afternoon TA LF receptions. I recall CT1DRP 
(whatever happened to Brian?) reception on DFCW as early as 2030Z on many 
ocassions. Quite often his signal would appear around that time for an hour 
or so, fade out, then make a comeback later in the evening.

Hi Stefan, LF

QSB was a factor last night. Isn't it always? I never had full
sequential call sign from DK7FC (missing only one 'dit') but I
consider the attached capture to be a full call sign copy.
Everything is clearly there, even if not sequential. Stefan, thanks
for the DFCW90 transmission! It is a pleasure to see this.

Today after some snow removal tasks I will work on optimizations to
the first of several SpecLab grabber instances (thanks Stefan).

Yesterday I had a successful full power test transmitting DFCW60.
Soon I will make an overnight appearance on DFCW. I don't know which
night(s) yet but I will announce it here.

73,
Paul
