Congratulations Markus and Joe for this good T/A qso ! 73 qro , Jean-Pierre F1AFJ Le 21/03/2011 16:32, Markus Vester a =C3=A9crit : > Dear LF group, > > last night between 23:30 and 1:45, Joe VO1NA and myself had our first tw= o-way contact. Joe was sending 10 second QRSS and DFCW modes on his usual= frequency 137.777 kHz, and I called him in 30 s DFCW on 136.172 kHz. Afte= r a couple of attempts to synchronize to each other, we finally ended up= exchanging reports successfully, as shown in the attached screenshots. > > Joe mentioned that he had 4.5 A current into his 100 m longwire antenna.= With propagation about 6 to 12 dB weaker than during peak times about a= week ago, his signal was still very clearly visible at about 0.3 =C2=B5V/= m in Nuernberg. The other direction was a bit more marginal: Using 250 W= transmitter power, I had 3.5 A aerial current and about 0.6 W ERP. > > For me, this was the first-ever transatlantic QSO on LF.
