To All from PA0SE
 
Having recently installed Spectogram I gave it a try on 73 kHz this morning.
 
It works perfectly and I saw several G-stations. But I also copied them by ear!
 
Reports by ear are:
 
G3XTZ: RST 459
M0BMU: RST 569
G3YXM: RST 559
G3LDO: RST 569
 
This was with the antenna system still tuned to 136 kHz!
 
So a crossband QSO 73/136 would have been easily possible for me.
 
Rugby is off air so I don't know how it would be with this station on. I have recorded the background noise so when Rugby comes on again I can observe whether there is a difference.
 
I will listen again today at 1400 UTC on 73 kHz and for a crossband QSO I will transmit on 136,550 kHz.
 
I will also listen Thursday at 1000 UTC and 1600 UTC.
 
I can be QRV at other times as well in case someone wants to arrange a sked by telephone.
 
73, Dick, PA0SE
