Nothing was heard of him unfortunately. Friday morning was a good morning with low levels of QRN, a good 'O' QRSS signal heard from Geri DK8KW at 0700Z. A strong signal was heard from Mal G3KEV at 1025Z working G6RW on 136.9kHz at normal speed. I was not active on Saturday. Sunday was also quiet, ON4ZK was heard with a QRS cq at 0705Z a good 'O', and Geri again at 0807Z QRS 'O'. Geri later worked an '8ZR, I believe, I couldn't hear the other station (or rather see it on the screen). Geri was due to test on PSK31 starting at 0800Z but I was due to go out, so I left FFTDSP4 running. Geri was running lower power than he normally does on QRS but his carrier was well readable on the waterfall and test sidebands with a spacing of about 30Hz were clear. When Geri started to send PSK test transmissions the waterfall looked like a narrow 'snowstorm'. Unfortunately I was unable to run the decode software, because at this strength it would be a good test the ability of PSK31 to combat the noise. I look forward to other opportunities to try PSK31 on 136khz.
