Bob, ZL QSO group, and onlookers.  :o)

Not much cance of reception from ZL, but the beacon is on anyway.  The 
station is running less than 1/2 W ERP, so if any distant stations see 
traces from here it is a miracle, much less a station 12227 km away!  The 
best chance for a ZL QSO is with any of the others who might be on.

Please confirm the final sked for this weekend's work, even though it is a 
VERY long shot that you will have any reception from here with such low 
power.

Recovery from the illness is slower than expected and I do not feel the amp 
will be functional before this weekend.  No smoke yet, but no RF yet either. 
It looks like it should be working, but something is wrong and I have not 
been able to isolate it.  With only a  hand full of parts this is 
embarassing.  The amp has been set aside until I feel well.

VY1JA ~137778.1, 13778.25 DFCW120, letter "J", preceeded by VY1JA at 12 WPM 
CW on the dit frequency, repeating at ~13 minute intervals.   It is back 
beaconing 24/7 until the sked this weekend.

Reports and captures continue to be appreciated.
