Hi Rik, Roelof Jean-Pierre, Jean, and group.
It was a lovely sunny but cold day today so I put on the snowshoes and
went to the feedpoint. The 100m rotated L is now resonated so the ERP
should be much better tonight. Unfortunately, I left the ammeter in the
shack so the aerial current (and ERP) is still unknown. I hope it is
legal and will measure it when I warm up a bit!
Roelof, your audio recording was spectacular! And thanks Jean for the
captures.
The TX is on again until 1100 UTC tomorrow. 50 watts 12 WPM CW and 5 s
carrier.

Hello Joe,
your signal was down in the noise again, I could still see the trace but no
aural copy.
I had a couple of good aural copy periods each 5 to 10 minutes long. If we had
catched one of these a CW QSO would have been possible.
A QRSS3 or JT9-2 QSO would have been possible almost all the time from 23 UTC
on.
Do you have a clue about your ERP?

Hi Rik,
I called CQ for about 20 mins. Nil RX except for WG2XSR on 482.2 kHz.
Back to the beacon again.
73 and thanks!
Joe

Joe,
right now your signal is down, but I will listen for you the next 30 minutes
or so before going to bed.

Rik and Roelof and Nicolas,
Thanks for the captures/reports. It's good to see that this
mess of wires and bits is doing what it should in spite
of the high SWR. I'm tempted to put on snowshoes and go to
the feedpoint to fiddle with the tuning.
Aural receptions in PA and ON are excellent results!
I can try for a QSO if there is interest.
