But only 2.4GHz dish and 70cm beam........

Checked QSX from the reflector and cut wire at 33 feet for 7MHz. Ran wire out of window to garden fence.
Also ran out second wire abt 45 feet out of window for LF RX.

Switched on at 00.05. With no matching, heard DDH47 at 559. Added 1 standard bucket of wire, signal now 589.........That'll do nicely.

Listened to 147.3kHz and heard "QSX 3565" - ** ****

Tuned up 33 feet of wire at 15ft AGL on 80m.

Made one call on 3565 and heard reply come back on 147.3k.
Exchanged info and made QSO. -Great !

I'm not surprised that 147.3 was very strong in London. But I was very impressed that they could hear a really poor signal on 80m.

Thanks all at DDH47.
