I had a poor copy on DJ2LF here due to the QRN, had that not been around =
he would have been quite readable.

  Thank you Jan for the QSO, Chris and all the others for the many =
reports my email.

  Yes, it was a historic moment for me! The first amateur radio station =
i ever heared on MF (except 160m of course). The QSO was like on HF, =
without any problems! I can well imagine that this is a CW band where =
real time QSOs can take place. And this night is in summer and with high =
QRN, so winther must be wonderful.
  No contest stress like on HF and still a special place below 1 MHz :-) =
137 kHz is the real challenge of course but its very nice to have a real =
QSO band now!

  I will go on to improve some things here and will see how the active =
ferrite antenna performs on MF, maybe cancelling out the QRN...

  The QSB was interesting and it clearly shows up that the ground range =
distance is much lower. I got audible copy from the UK but nothing at =
DJ2LF in 175km distance...
  Will continue to listen and prepare my remote link to key the PA here =
while sitting in the forest and receiving there :-)

  73, Stefan/DK7FC
