Hello,

today I had the opportunity to follow a normal speed QSO between G3XTZ and
G3YXM. I was not able to hear both stations mostly above noise level but I
took a reading of the input level of both stations with my selective level

G3XTZ, distance to my qth 732 km:       -121 dBm(75 Ohm)
G3YXM, distance to my qth 826 km:       -119 dBm (75 Ohm).
