I'll keep this running until at least midnight. Last night 4 stations reported me and I was able to decode 6 stations with best DX being PE1GRL. I'd appreciate any reports, ideally via the WSPR database. With ERP appearing to be around 6-8dB down on the vertical (i.e. around 200uW) it is possible that quite a few more stations could copy me despite this oddball way of getting a signal launched into the ether! Thanks in advance for looking for me. 73s Roger G3XBM -- http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/ http://www.g3xbm.co.uk http://www.youtube.com/user/g3xbm G3XBM GQRP 1678 ISWL G11088 --0022153fff6addf67104893e1457 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear MF/LFers,
