Congrats Dave and Paul!
Well done on ULF, Stefan! Amazing work.
Thanks to Paul Nicholson's grabber, I am pleased to report that
yesterday's trip up the tower with a new halyard was not in vain;
transatlantic VLF service has been restored. (Unless we have an
imposter on 8270.0075 Hz.)

Very nice, a well deserved success for both of you. In this context we should
mention that G0MRF was one of the first Peter Bobek Award winners.
Congratulations!

Betreff: LF: 137kHz Transatlantic QSO
I was very pleased this evening 06/March/19 to complete a JT9-1 QSO with Paul N1BUG on
137kHz.Paul and I have been trying almost nightly for the past 3 weeks overcoming many
problems along the way.Finally we succeeded, with reports of -21 for me, while N1BUG was
-27 in IO91FR (4842km)I should also like to say thanks to Rik ON7YD. A few days ago I
downloaded SlowJT9 v0.9.16.0. I ran this, with "multiple decodes" switched on
and had WSJT-X running parallel.
During the 12 minute QSO, SlowJT9 decoded 5 sequences from Paul at -27 while
WSJT-X missed 2 of the 5. Both programmes reported the same signal levels.
Audio for transmit was taken from WSJT.
- Rik. I have saved the decoded files as you requested. when I find out where
they are, I will forward them to you.
Since making a crossband TA QSO (137k to 14MHz) in Sept 2000, a 2-way QSO has
been a long term ambition. This is one ticked off the bucket list. Thanks Paul
for the dedication and perseverance.
