More worrying is that you couldn't hear Jim who should have been quite a bit stronger than me. I estimate my ERP at 18mW (yesterday's estimated 40mW was an error) from 200W RF. Jim was hearing you at 599. To test the Rx at 73kHz, tune to the strong Rugby signal just above 73kHz. Even on the south coast this should be S9+40. Next, try HBG on 75.0kHz which should be S9. Most amateur signals will be S1-5, much weaker than on 136kHz. I will beacon this evening using 3s QRSS on 71.617kHz. If Rugby is still off I will try real CW. With a set up similar to what I have now, I have received QRSS reports from well into DL, so you should copy me. Mike, G3XDV (IO91VT) http://www.lf.thersgb.net
