Yes, if you PA would be finished you could now try to reach ES5AM who calls CQ on 137.700 kHz, well visible on the OE3GHB grabber! :-)

Hi Stefan,

Well my praise for your signal strength certainly was not meant to imply a derogatory comment on PA0A=E2=80=A6 =C2=A0Your sig was just very strong. As it is now, clearly audible. Regular CW would be no problem at all.

As for your remark w.r.t. the building of a=C2=A0 PA..=C2=A0 well I stand corrected..I really really must find the time to finish my 137 setup. Afraid that I see nothing finished in the near future. =C2= =A0alas.. L

Hello Minto,

Thanks. But i am afraid that it sounds not good for the other OMs who joined in, i mean it looks like if we are competitors, not friends who share a great hobby.
Just want to make clear here that my goal is not to be the king or so. I do what i can to make up a good signal=C2=A0 but this does not relative the great signal of the others. PA0A's signal was often as strong as mine at OE3GHB although he is in a higher distance.
The actual goal is to increase activity and allow as many as possible OMs to receive a signal, which is often a requirement for newcomers to find the motivation to build a own PA :-)

Starting again in 15 minutes.

Hi Stefan,

See attached screenshot =E2=80=93 just dug it up from m= y saved screenshots.
As you can see you were significantly stronger than PA0A =E2=80=93 more t= han 5 dB.. nice!

Thanks to all watching stations and their feedback via screenshot or
grabber. Especially the grabbers are important as a continuous feedback!
Also thanks to Albert/PA0A for joining in.

Propagation seems to be back, at least in EU and 4X, so in a radius of
3000 km. If the QRN in the far west comes down again, i am looking
forward to further tests.
