ast night Chris 2E0ILY and myself completed a DFCW60 QSO over a<br>
4731 km path on 137 kHz. To my knowledge this is the first USA to<br>
Europe two way amateur radio QSO on the band. My sincere thanks to<br>
Chris for his time and effort to make this happen!<br>
<br>
I apologize if being in the WSPR band created problems for anyone. I<br>
asked Chris to give up four nights (or more) of other activity to do<br>
this. I did not want to additionally ask him to spend hours tuning<br>
the antenna elsewhere and then back again.<br>
<br>
Signals were at times outstanding with three hours of perfectly<br>
solid copy here one night. While not quite that good in the other<br>
direction, I am very pleased with the copy Chris had on me. We would<br>
not be able to make it on any other QSO mode, but slow DFCW made it<br>
possible!<br>
<br>
This QSO was like an adventure. :-) The first night of transmitting<br>
I had to constantly retune the antenna due to influence of very<br>
heavy snow squalls. I&#39;m glad I put a motor on the variometer.<br>
Without it, transmitting that night would not have been possible.<br>
