Most was 'rubish' but I got the call OK and from what I >could read Dave was trying to caontact someone (QRZ .... weak signal ...). >I wonder if Dave can 'reconstruct' the time and power level he was using ? > I started exacly at 2100 with 300W then reduced power in approx 3db steps at about 3 minute intervals, by 2110 I would have been QRP. At 2115 I stopped the test and was called by G4JNT on PSK31. Andy's signal was very weak and the static was bad but I got a report and his callsign after a few tries! So when you copied that little snatch I was using about 300W pep. If anyone would like to try another listen I will transmit again..... 73, Dave G3YXM
