In 2009-2010 winter I could hear Joe (VX9MCR at that time) almost every night in CW. When propagation was good as early as 22 UTC or in the morning up to 7 UTC. I had the impression that the QSB on the signal was even more profound than the QSB on European signals. On 17/11/2009 we had a QRSS QSO, me running a mere 250mW ERP. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T ________________________________________ Van: owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org [owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org] namens Roelof Bakker [roelof@ndb.demon.nl] Verzonden: zaterdag 5 maart 2016 21:21 Aan: Markus Vester; rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Onderwerp: Re: LF: VO1NA CW 477.7 kHz Hello Markus, I have followed your and Paul's experiments with great interest and have great respect for the ingenuity involved. Looking at my plain CW reception of VO1NA, you might understand that so far there is no need to use them here. However, propagation was exceptional last night and when the sun will keep quiet, might improve further. 73, Roelof, pa0rdt
