John,

it's going to be a busy weekend but I'll try to be QRV in the evenings.
I just made it to your grabber running 20W output (0.2W ERP).
The signal looks still fine, but that's as low as I can get for now.

Dear all,

last night I did some first test on 500kHz after my "summer recess".

At 20.30 UT I could see my signal on various grabbers, up to
the Shetlands.

Hello Rik,

I've just heard your CQ call on 502.9 - RST 449, some QSB at 1943 UTC


Unfortunately I'm not QRV for transmit on 500 tonight - I've removed
the ATU, to allow me to use the antenna in "wideband" mode for
monitoring. I don't have an antenna for 80m either so no x-band.

Still - good to hear you again.

I hope to be QRV again at the weekend, when I convert the antenna back
for MF transmitting.

See you later,

John
