After a Slow-CW cq call only a very weak "?" came back, and DF8ZR in Slow-CW did not copy as well. So my first though was to follow the famous words of Jodie Foster in the movie "Contact": We need bigger antennas! My XYL Andrea (DL3ABC) suggested, that my antenna might be damaged. And then I saw the encouraging message of Jaap, PA3GUC: >DK8KW 127.691 kHz calling cq. Signal good visible with gram 4.2.6 and jumped up and down! Someone saw my cq-call in PA! Hopefully the frequency is a typo, otherwise I need to check my VFO. But Jaap, you have an excellent accuracy to measure the frequency, my calling frequency was supposed to be 137.690 kHz +/- 1 kHz. Thank you, Jaap, for the report. All the others, whom I called in vain this weekend: the 18m fibre-glas mast, that I ordered, is supposed to be delivered end of June! Looking forward to work more of you, best 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)
