Hi Stefan,

Thanks for a long "talking" QSO - yes I noticed your power had dropped a 
bit, but the CW signal was still Q5 here, and about 2 to 3 S-units 
stronger than the modulation sideband from "bia" on 473 kHz.
I heared your CQ later on and first thought there was another station 
calling (because the signal was "only" 559 instead of 599 then) but that 
was another trick of the QSB. 21:20 UTC (which, iirc, was when we 
started) was *much* better for this distance than after 22:00 UTC.

Btw rushing downhill with the bike, I got home shortly before the rain 
set in. Perfectly timed.

Good night,
   Wolf .
