Hello Roger,

What means close? Is it above 770 so i am looking for you :-) Maybe the first RX stations can confirm the actual frequency, if unknown so far.

73, GL, Stefan

PS: QRSS60 would be more useful for all the grabbers. I see a goog chance that you can appear at F1AFJ!

My QRSS30 50uW beacon XB= M (space then G3XBM at 10wpm) is now active on its new frequency close to 137.770kHz until 2300z this evening. As always, reports and screen shots would be very much appreciated.

If trying to copy it, very best of luck.
