Hello John.
You handled simultaneous QSO,S very well last night. I was running QRP
and
delighted that you were able to copy everything first time, hence the
speedy
QSO again.
If convenient, next time that we QSO I will gradually reduce the power
to a
few watts just to see how low I can get to maintain a QSO.
I am using my old home built fet PA that does not run much power anyway
even
flat out. I wonder
what the signal would be like if I had one of the DECCA JEEPS running
around
1.2 - 1.5 KW
output to the antenna. I have heard these are popular south of Watford.
I usually switch on the TX about 2130utc and you seem to hear me right
away.
I QRT usually between 2300 and Midnight and always QAP/QRV on 7025 khz
for
xband contacts to VE and W

73 and tnx agn de Mal/G3KEV
