Last night (7 october) arround 20.10 UT I worked Lars, SM4DHN, on 136.500kHz.
despite strong QRN (even worse than the night before) Lars was a solid 559
here, I received a 429 report. The 'first' SM-ON on 136kHz and my country #12.
Our QSO must have triggered DL3FDO as he started CQ-ing on exact the same
frequency, fortunately just after the final 73's. I wasn't able to get
DL3FDO's attention and as far as I could follow also Lars didn't work him.
Arround 20.30 UT I heard DJ1RL (?) CQ-ing with a 339 signal (only Q3 due to
strong QRN, signal was strong enough to be Q5 on a quite day) but I got no
response to my reply's.
As QRN got stronger and stronger I closed the station at 21.00 UT.
Very big tnx to Lars for digging my weak signal out of the noise.
73, Rik ON7YD
