Due to my continuing qrn problems at the home qth, I took the opportunity to listen on the big 500 khz transmit antenna at work ( no longer in use except as a reserve receive antenna), today. Heard DF 2 PY at very good strength, sending quite fast cw. The Hagenuk receiver at work (MALIN HEAD RADIO),

does not use an S meter, the signal sounded like a 5 3 9,

very good, full copy, despite the relative high speed, which is faster than most station use with normal morse , on the band.

I would have had no problems, having a full qso with Wolf, pity I did not have a tx , to go back to him.

I'm still working on overcoming the qrn problem, now using a

phasing unit, which I knocked up recently, also building a qrn

canceller by Derek , G3GRO, thanks again to Derek for lthe

circuit diagram and info received this week, It all help.

regards to all the LF group
