Thanks a lot, Uli! Estimated ERP was only about 20mW (antenna: ca. 27m long INV-L, 20m horiz, at 9-10m, bad groundsystem) , so other stations (tnx to DK8KW for patient listening!!) were not able to hear me so far, but I will improove my antenna system soon. With a little luck I will be able to build up a wire-antenna of 300m or even more in an adequate height (10m +) at our clubstation.. hope to meet you on 136, SWL-reports are also very welcome! 73 de Fabian DJ1YFK
