QRN=2 to 1, QRM=3 to 2 13:25 UTC - 14:00 UTC signal went weaker and mostly covered by local noise RST 229 aurally 21:03 UTC calling CQ on around 136.6 kHz due to higher noise level RST 239 aurally Sunday May 14/2000 tried during morning hours 07:25 - 08:00 no copy tried sporadically during afternoon hours no copy calling CQ on around 136.6 kHz UTC RST QRN QRM (man made noise) 20:26 119 3 5 20:46 219 3 4 21:00 229 3 3 21:27 339 2 2 21:30 339 2 2 21:33 219 3 2 21:36 119 3 2 21:41 119 3 2 21:45 00x 3 2 21:50 119 2 2 22:00 119 2 2 22:47 229 2 2 23:03 329 2 2 23:10 339 2 2 went to bed :-O There is a long term QSB on the signal observed, both during daytime (saturday) as well as during night hours (both on saturday and sunday). During the last 2 years I never could copy anything else but signals from Peter Bobek as DA0LF and DA0LF/p Bernd Grupe DF8ZR Wolf Ostwald DF2PY all are about 30 km from my place. The next improvement was to copy Reiner Nabe DL3FDO in Nov/1999 who lives about 60 km from my QTH. Alfred's signal now increases my personal ODX to about 410 km. But due to the fact I could not hear any of the stations which were in QSO with DQ0KBM I am not too happy with it. Most of you more happy fellows would have listened to Alfred's signal as to a commercial BC signal (as signal strength concerns). Perhaps it's due to the call sign of the operator hihi. best 73 de Gamal
