A QRS cq from DK8KW was logged at 0421Z and again finishing at 0444Z. The first was just readable would be the lowest report from me ( T ?) The second call was mashed up by the noise but was on the same freq and had elements of Geri's call (bear in mind Geri that most active stations in the UK would receive up to 20dB better than I do) At least one other station detected slightly higher in frequency at 0640Z maybe this was DF3LP, but the signal was right in the noise with me and I was unable to reliably distinguish call letters. I heard G8RW at hand speed at 1312Z at better strength than I normally hear him. I only discovered Finbar had crystallized his beacon (hope it tastes good Finbar ) late on Saturday evening by which time nothing was heard or seen on the waterfall display, through the static crashes. An all night log of the QRS end of the band shows his signal 'popping' out of the noise 0010Z, with a complete call in the clear ('O') at 0140Z. The signal was visible here until 0730Z though never as good a strength. It could be seen with a little imagination up to 1100Z though not at a fully readable strength. Also heard at good strength were Steve GW4ALG, and G3YXM, and I think John G4GVC though I didn't record his call (so used to hearing John I recognise his fist) G8RW called CQ at 0837Z with the strongest signal I have ever heard from him. I note an entry from Alain on Sunday so maybe he has got his wire working properly now. It will be nice to get spots from France.
