Hallo Steve,
Hallo Group,

was QRV on sunday morning 02:45 to 4:15 UTC. Could not hear anything. Called
CQ for several times but no answer.
Had some trouble with the antenna. The normal antenna system resistance of
abt. 50 ohm has increased to nearly 100 ohm. Don´t know what happend. May be
the snow and ice on the wires caused this change. Did some other
measurements on sunday afternoon, when the sun reduced the ice but there was
no difference.
Nevertheless lets make an other trial the next weekend. What about the same
time? Could we go down to 136.4 kHz because I have a qrm-carrier on 136.9
kHz?
