Rik,

Well done.

I should be in a position to attempt the same as I saw solid QRS signals
from Joe.

<br>
yesterday I could copy VX9MRC in QRSS3 with a surprising strong signal as=
 early as 18 UTC, when I launched Argo.<br>
Throughout the evening the signal was strong and with little QSB from 19-2=
2UTC, after that the signal became weaker with much more QSB.<br>
Probably because I had a sked with Joe at 22:40 UTC ;-) .<br>
But despite all we managed to complete the QSO with both way M report (wou=
ld have been a solid O earlier the evening).<br>
A first ON-VE QSO on 500kHz and with +/- 4075km a new DX record for me<br>
Joe transmitted on 507.770 and I on 501.190.<br>
Between 19 and 22 UTC the signal was audible most of the time and would ha=
ve been CW copy if it were not squeezed between the NDB &quot;Z&quot; carr=
ier at 507.980 (S9+ here) the SM6BHZ CW/SSB test transmissions (up to S9)=
 and a local birdie on 507.600.<br>

<br>
For the QSO I was running 300W into my 11m high / 25m long lazy-L antenna,=
 estimated ERP about 1.5 Watt (at best, if the greenery does not absorb to=
o much)<br>
<br>
The night from Sunday - Monday I left Argo running, =A0VX9MRC produced a=
 good signal all through the night and faded out at 07UTC. This would mean=
 that there is a potential transatlantic path on 500kHz for 13h a day !!!<=
