Thanks for the reports and comments on the trial run last night. Not surprised by the excellent decodes from W1VD over a relatively short path!
I will move up 0.5 Hz for tonight and tomorrow to 137477.5 Hz as requested by DK7FC. All other parameters remain unchanged.
The new antenna matching and tuning unit I recently built and installed was only slightly warm after running overnight at full input power. Most excellent!
