Hi Mike,

Thank-you for the report.  It's gratifying to see that the QRP sigs
are crossing the pond.  Evidently, the joys of LF TA are not
the exclusive domain of those with Decca amps and huge aerials.

Decodes were also seen on the TF3HZ OPDS site and evidence of the sigs
were seen on Markus' spectra at 137.555 kHz.  The opera will continue
tonight.

Thanks to those who provided reports of the QRSS100 QRP sigs and to
Henny in particular and to F1AFJ, Markus and Hartmut  for their grabbers. 
Traces could be seen at times on the G4WGT grabber. 
I think there are some not mentioned. Sorry about that!

Very much enjoying your book, Mike.  It was a Christmas present from 
G3LMD, Joe Sr.
