Thank you Jan for the QSO, Chris and all the others for the many reports=20
my email.

Yes, it was a historic moment for me! The first amateur radio station i=20
ever heared on MF (except 160m of course). The QSO was like on HF,=20
without any problems! I can well imagine that this is a CW band where=20
real time QSOs can take place. And this night is in summer and with high=20
QRN, so winther must be wonderful.
No contest stress like on HF and still a special place below 1 MHz :-)=20
137 kHz is the real challenge of course but its very nice to have a real=20
QSO band now!

I will go on to improve some things here and will see how the active=20
ferrite antenna performs on MF, maybe cancelling out the QRN...

The QSB was interesting and it clearly shows up that the ground range=20
distance is much lower. I got audible copy from the UK but nothing at=20
DJ2LF in 175km distance...
Will continue to listen and prepare my remote link to key the PA here=20
while sitting in the forest and receiving there :-)

At the mom I'll will call you on 502kHz everytime you stop your CQ.<br>
And stop when your CQ starts again.<br>
    <br>
There's some QSB on it but have peaks in the region of 4-5.<br>

Can you indicate were you listen in your CQ call?<br>

MF,<br>
        <br>
Now my RX and active antenna is much better after adding a band filter
in front of the first gate. Most probably there was an overload of the
input before. Now DLF is 40 dB attenuated and the RX performs much
better. I can hear the crashes / sferics and see several traces, still
not sure if they are local QRM or a far field signal.<br>
        <br>
My TX is ready as well. I will *call CQ on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
 href="tel:477.5" value="+9724775" target="_blank">477.5</a> kHz in CW
and look for skeds*! I can receive on 505 kHz (arround) as well but my
filters in the RX already attenuate the region by about 20 dB... Anyway
worth a try.<br>
        <br>
Starting now!<br>
