Hi Rik

That is good news I just checked the e-mail in box as dusk was falling.
I think I left it on QRSS10, I will check. When you get copy I can go to
QRSS3.
In its present state it is just an MEPT, it can be manually key-able I
shall have to sort that one out. If only to please Mal.

I have been modelling my antenna since you did G3XBM's yesterday, I am
not skilled with models on 500KHz at all. It does look that I may have
done a rather good thing by rule of thumb.

Eddie,

first traces of your signal showing up, with almost 2 hours to go to
sunset.
Too weak to read anything but I can see the FSK.
Are you interested in a QSO (if the signal comes through this evening) ?
