I intended to run the transmitter the whole night but ended it after a couple of hours because I noted some frequency instability that also shows in your screenshot. I concluded this was caused by feedback from the aerial that runs close to the transmitter on its wooden board.
Today I put the TX on a large metal plate connected to earth and that seems to have cured the trouble. I will run another test after our holiday on Tenerife.
I will take your advice on spaces between dashes. Luckily ON7YD's fine QRS program allows all this to be done.

I want to thank you for your many reports on TA and other signals. You seem to live at an exceptional quiet location, judging by your screenshots of very weak signals.

Dear Dick,

aaah - with a little inverted (LSB-) thinking, things became clear today ;-) Nice signal until 10:20, approx. 1.2 猩/m in Nuernberg. Perhaps the usual gaps between DFCW dashes would allow for easier decoding.
