Lubos, LF! Thank you for the great report of my beacon! Also Lubos, thank you for the great QSL for my report on your beacon. This band is full of friendly people and great surprises. Cheers, John GM
Thanks for the great report Ha-Jo! This is very pleasing. The distance is around 1500km. I'm interested that Finbar's signal had more QSB, but that we were both similar in peaks! Thanks again! http:/

Sorry Mal, but I don't understand. How can one get a signal report, in a 2-way QSO on 500kHz, from OH, DL, F, EA, LA and various non-NoV G stations? They can't operate on 500kHz. Cross-band QSOs are
Oh well, at least I tried ;-) Called CQ for about 40 minutes on 502.5 from 21:40 to 22:20 UTC. No takers so I'm afraid it's beacon mode for the night. I'm really amazed at getting reports from OH/F/

Hello Peter, LF, Thanks for the info on your setup. I wondered about the "150kHz" bit in RADCOM! Now I understand, a typo... The G station you heard me working was G3YHV, Colin in Bristol. The band c
Hello LF, A good night on 500, with several people making many first class QSOs on CW - including my first MF QSO with Colin G3VTT, which was a great thrill. I eventually had to retire to bed though!
Thanks for that Alan! On the visual Au front. Last year wasn't too good for them but 2 or 3 years ago there seemed to be a good number of them nicely spread over the mid-winter. Last night's display
LF, Last night I had great trouble with the antenna tuning - match varying wildly. Today in the light of day I can see why. 2 of the sloping capcity wires have come adrift from their supporting guys

Hi Gary, That's what I was thinking as I heard " G 3 W C ..." expecting a "B" next, even started to write it down as G3WCB in anticipation! I have some of the CQs recorded on mp3. He was there for lo
Hello LF, Mal, Encouraged by Mal's posting I've tried calling "CQ QSX 3533khz" on a couple of occasions. I was called last weekend by Mike G3GMS near Cullercoats (where I sat my PO morse test all tho

Hello LF, It's been tricky to maintain a regular evening sked recently, and I guess I'm not alone in having lots of calls on my limited time! I'm expending a lot of mental effort on the 500khz thing,
