I have read the message in reflector late yesterday, so i have
tuned on 137.300, and at about 18.45 Z i have received only the end of
qso, that was the following message:
nw pwr 30 watts
nothing more.
So good reception in Italy.

Hello group,
Jim M0BMU, Markus DF6NM
and I had a 3-corner-mixed-mode-QSO (in Jason/CW) on Tuesday evening.
Markus used his linear TX with an output power between 130 W down to 100
mW. Solid copy with 1 watt over a distance of roughly 350 km between DF6NM
and DF0WD, even more impressive that Markus' QRP signal could be copied at
Jim's QTH. I don't know what Markus' lowest ERP was when Jim had still
fair copy - he may explain himself. Jim, I hope you have a couple of
Megabytes in the box now and a fast DSL access to send the data to Stewart.
I tried to save a couple of wave files while running Jason in "RX" mode,
but it seems my old laptop is not suitable for this - Windoze asked me to
close the application which occupied the soundcard, and a second PC was not
available during the test.
Thanks for the test to everyone involved.
Jim told us he will be putting out a Jason signal tomorrow, maybe something to
listen for across the pond if he uses full power ?
Regards,
Wolf DL4YHF/DF0WD.
