Hi Roger

Yes nice to see your signal there, 500KHz was fun and we did well with 
QRP powers. I shall be using QRP on 472kHz also. I stayed on until the 
bitter end filling the last possible WSPR slot. I have lots of audio 
files and screen shots too which will need sorting when I get the time.

I couldn't QSY to 472 instantly due to my HiQ antenna. Today the WX was 
kind so I have dismantled the coil assembly and utilised the last tap of 
the extra few turns I added a while ago, it looks like I calculated it 
right it resonates.:-)

Just seen your signal climbing up the WSPR window, my report to you is 
the same as on 500, however I note you are seeing me so that is one for 
the book. Do you think it is a lack of noise your end?

Here I still have to see what the Plasma QRM is like at night, it has 
been clean on a non resonant antenna but resonating my inv. L on 500 or 
472 induces signals into the non resonant antenna so only now will we 
find out.
