Could not hear anything. Called CQ for several times but no answer. Had some trouble with the antenna. The normal antenna system resistance of abt. 50 ohm has increased to nearly 100 ohm. Donīt know what happend. May be the snow and ice on the wires caused this change. Did some other measurements on sunday afternoon, when the sun reduced the ice but there was no difference. Nevertheless lets make an other trial the next weekend. What about the same time? Could we go down to 136.4 kHz because I have a qrm-carrier on 136.9 kHz? 73 DL1SAN Wolfgang > ---------- > Von: Steve Rawlings[SMTP:steve.rawlings@cableol.co.uk] > Antwort an: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 2.
