Hello Scott,

Thanks for the very interesting information.
Can you explain why DLF or the algerian stn is almost 50 dB S/N but 
DCF39 is not visible at all?

Do you expect a beacon transmission from Germany could be successfully 
received at VE7TIL?

On your advice / request i can immediately start beacon transmissions, 
each night if wanted, no problem at all.
My variometer is not automatic so far and usually i resonate the antenna 
to 137.7 kHz. Thus, i can QSY say +- 70 Hz but not much more. I'm afraid 
people become angry if i would TX in the TA band but i cannot QSY to 
136.177 in the moment.
So, if you would like to test with me, maybe you can run a temporary 
extra SL instance on a frequency of your choise arround 137.7. I would 
then try to leave a trace on your grabber, beeing an optimist, you know ;-)
Would use a mode of your choice (DFCW or QRSS=
So tell me if you want to try!

Looking forward to the season.

73, Stefan/DK7FC
