Joe,
that's a beautiful Argo screenshot! Glad to see
both Andy and Alex in there, along with Stefan and myself.
Jay had also posted a good spectrogram
on the W1VD grabber site, but the background noise / QRN was
apparently significantly worse than the night before.
Looks like the weather is still antenna-friendly,
so I might as well get on again tonight (if only
for continuity ;-)
Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)
PS: Stefan, skies = heavens above
;-)

Despite the high K and A indices, UW8SM, DK7FC,
DF6NM and R7NT were copied
here last night. This is most gratifying
-- it reminds me of the 'good
old days' when the band is active like
this.
For RX, the 100m wire (usual TX aerial) was used. It has 2
mH of series
inductance. The RX was the FT-817 without the external
(35dB) preamp.
IPO was engaged (to remove the internal preamp) and the AGG
was off.
73 to all
Joe VO1NA
