I missed some of your transmissions because you were co-channel with Dave G3YXM who is in beacon mode also on 503.0 kHz...and my CW is a bit rusty too! You were a good signal in the clear on 502.2 when you called Dave a little later on. I estimate your signal to be about 3db stronger than G3YXM, but I guess you are quite a bit nearer to me. I can send you a "Spectran" screenshot if you are interested. I'm running 10W to a 20m "Tee" at 5m high, which gives an estimated erp or less than 50mW, given that the antenna is rather poor. My RX setup is a 500 kHz preamp into an ICOM IC-PR1000, which has quite a wide passband, and isn't really suited to CW. Thanks for the QSO, and good luck on the band. 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM (Iver near Windsor/Slough)
