Worked GI3PDN crossband on normal speed CW at 19.30UT last night - me on
71.735kHz and Ray on 136.200kHz. My report was 229QSB, but my antenna was
blowing about all over the place in the squally rain showers and Ray's
receive system wasn't fully optimised for 73kHz, so the contact was fairly
lengthy. Nevertheless, as well as swapping reports, Ray received my power
info and confirmation that I would alert G3YXM to come up on frequency, so
we managed more than the minimum QSO exchange. Dave then also worked Ray
when we had signed.
