Content preview: Hi Christian, Yes, let's try for a real CW QSO tonight. Will call 0000 utc and on the half hours until 0200. Will listen 472.5 kHz if that's OK with you. We are having a blizzard so experimentation with the antenna is out for today. The TX might be convinced to give another 3 dB. Let's hope that a fried FET is not in the future!
