Hi Joe,

Tnx for the report. Can you confirm the signal strength is still as 
strong as before?
It is very strange, the signal appears quite weak in my local world 
receiver (ferrite antenna). I already thought the PA stage is damaged or 
something else. However i can see the signal of DF6NMs grabber. But it 
would still be anyway when beeing 30 dB weaker... ;-)
Still 599?

73, Stefan
