The variometer coil had a disconnection in the middle where it was tapped, and the earth connection was faulty. Heard SM6PXJ (579); G8PX (569); DF3OE (439); DJ9IE (569); G3XTZ (5 9+20 9); G3GRO (5 9+10 9); 7S6SAJ (599 with 1kW from a commercial site in Sweden); G3LDO (599); M0BMU (5 9+20 9). Worked a new one for me: G3CCH (gave 339, got 569) but lost at the end because of QRM from Scandinavia! Sunday 6 February Got up in the middle of the night, and at 0300 heard a very strong QRSs station at S9+10dB. Switched on the computer and found it was 7S6SAJ working DK1IS ('M' with lots of QSB). Called 7S6SAJ afterwards and exchanged 'O' reports. Up again at a more civilised hour and heard: G8RW (589); G3OLB (589); G4GVC (599); LX1PD (579); G3BDQ (599); G6NB (589); G3KAU (599). Saw QRSs on Spectrogram screen from DJ5BV ('O'). Worked on QRSs a new one for me: DF6NM ('O'/'O') at 883km. Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http://www.dennison.demon.co.uk/activity.htm
