The 'first' SM-ON on 136kHz and my country #12. Our QSO must have triggered DL3FDO as he started CQ-ing on exact the same frequency, fortunately just after the final 73's. I wasn't able to get DL3FDO's attention and as far as I could follow also Lars didn't work him. Arround 20.30 UT I heard DJ1RL (?) CQ-ing with a 339 signal (only Q3 due to strong QRN, signal was strong enough to be Q5 on a quite day) but I got no response to my reply's. As QRN got stronger and stronger I closed the station at 21.00 UT. Very big tnx to Lars for digging my weak signal out of the noise. 73, Rik ON7YD Rik Strobbe ON7YD rik.strobbe@fys.kuleuven.ac.be Villadreef 14 B-3128 Baal BELGIUM (JO20IX)
