With best regards

Jim

Hello Pete,=

Good to hear you today, especially on MF=

Ian and I were generating= some activity and even had a CW QSO on LF !!

'Winter Sports' is a complete rub out here ala= s with wall to wall QRM from TB to 30m

In desperation I called m= y head off on 20m and despite getting some good spots on the reverse beacon= network no one called me.

I tried a similar trick l= ast night on 160m and eventually managed one QSO - with Ian !=

I'm afraid the days of QRP CW seem numbered and un= less the RSGB etc. seriously get to grips with the severe QRM problem ops w= ill just either pack it in or go QRO.

=C2=A0

I wanted to test all my HB gear but have fallen short.=

At present I've got a= most unusual set up for WSPRing on 30m (never done that):-

I have a free running 10.1 MHz VFO locked to my divide= by 10 PLL itself driven by the Chinese sig gen (at 1.0138 MHz)

The locked output then feeds my 'universal QRP DSB= WSPR TX' hopefully giving about 0.1W RF

No one's spotted me y= et but 30m is jam packed so I may just be getting squashed.

I look forward to seeing my signals on your grabber ag= ain - most useful that!

=C2=A0

Have a pleasant evening and I shall be in the shack fo= r most of it.

Hi Chris G3XIZ HNY

=C2=A0

Thanks for=C2=A0coming back to my CQ on CW on 630m tod= ay. It goes to show there is human life on the band.

=C2=A0

I am working up yet another 136 rig hope to get some u= se out of=C2=A0 this one in 2017.

=C2=A0

The FMT 472 grabber goes off tomorrow night. I will du= mp the images onto disc as a permanent=C2=A0testimony to how little human o= peration occurs over a three week period around here.
