Thanks, Jean-Pierre, for the pictures. I believe this was the first transatlantic two-way by anyone for more than two years. It was not scheduled and only started because I happened to get out of bed and then checked the Rx. Speed was 60s dot and the QSO took just under three hours with relatively little QSB. My ERP estimated at 0.5W. Screen shots taken by me and by Joe attached. Mike, G3XDV ========== Congratulations ! good qso , Completely visible on my grabber ! In spite of the antenna with 90 degrees of the direction http://jpmere.online.fr/Grabber/Grabber.htm 73 to all Jean-Pierre f1afj
