Brian,

Thank you for the capture! I'm very pleased with the results. I just acquired a Decca Tx, and it will take a few weeks for me to make the modifications, power supply etc. That should give me a considerably better signal (+7dB or so).

Assuming that goes well, I'd be interested in knowing if there any stations 'across the pond' available for a two-way QSO?

73 Warren K2ORS/WD2XGJ

Lots I should think.

BTW........has a claim been made for the AMRAD / RSGB / DARC transatlantic prize for the first QSO with the USA?

I remember UK to canada was awarded to 4 stations with a 'joint first' but do I recall there was a seperate catagory for 'USA' as opposed to 'NA'?

Anyway, seems the licensing arrangements will finally allow a 2 way to happen.

Good luck...............
