Hi Martin,

You managed to spot me last night at -28dB S/N - thank you.

No changes here since I started using the coax to the 2m big-wheel as my
antenna this autumn. Interestingly, last night more people spotted me than
I spotted others on 630m WSPR. This probably confirms that my RX system is
deaf and my noise floor is causing me to miss weaker signals. Best DX (on
TX) was again Norway.

I hope I can get a better antenna up next season.
