So, you told about quiet conds on your side in the last=20 days. My PLL is locked again and i will TX today again in QRSS-120,=20 starting 17 UTC on 136.172. Good that your grabber runs 24/7 since probably you are sleeping right=20 now ;-) Maybe that is all a bit to optimistic and i'm still running the old=20 system (coil Q 285) but anyway. Somehow i like transmitting just for fun = :-) 73, Stefan/DK7FC Am 11.10.2011 07:05, schrieb Dimitrios Tsifakis: > Hi Markus, > > I will pass your suggestion to the local QRO operators here in VK. > Personally, I am a bit of a QRP person, so all my transmitters are > less than 100 W output power.
