Dear Ed,
may be I tried to respond to RU6LAs calls in QRSs3. I tried it in saturday evening til 2300 UTC. Have seen good sigs with mm, with the  spectrolab program.TNX report.
My stn: TX 70W/60 Ohm, Marconi with L=4,6 mH, Zin abt 200 Ohm, using a Balun 50R/200R to match the aerial. LOC JN48 UQ, DOK P41.

55, dsw, Hans-Albrecht DK 8 ND
