Hello Joe, LF,
Many thanks for the nice words and for successfully trying to receive my
signal. I'm really amazed and excited that this is possible from 4400 km
distance. This is our path/distance:

Congratulations to that remarkable achievement and to your RX station!
I suggest to try this many times again :-) I remember to get much better
recption of your signals than yesterday so maybe the conds will be much
more promising in the coming weeks.
You forgot the link to the wav file of the yesterdays recording on your
webpage: http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~jcraig/lfex.html
I'm greatly looking forward to a QSO and will go on trying tonite.
Also thanks for giving me the feeling that the effort on the TX side
here have been worth to do! All the works and operations are a great
pleasure!!
Actually i defined my goal to get a specivic maximum radiated signal.
Now i am closer to that goal than ever before but it is still minus 6 dB
full scale. So let's see what i can get in the near future...
Best 73, Stefan/DK7FC

Dear Group,
I am very happy to report hearing Stefan's CW on 136.5 kHz at 2330-0000
this morning. His signals seemed audible last night, but this was
difficult to believe and I was sceptical. There is no doubt now about
what was heard -- his CW was clearly readable by ear. This is truly
amazing as it is the first time CW has been heard at this station from
across the pond.
The RX here is an FT817, National LF10 preselector and a 500' beverage.
Stefan's new glass and litz coil is wonderful piece of apparatus!
Warmest congtats to him on his achievement of lobbing enough 2200m
photons across the pond to yield readable signals with my modest RX.
Joe VO1NA
