I logged a very strong QRS cq from Mike G3XDV at 0615Z, and 0636Z but no
reply was heard. At 0630 Geri called Dave on PSK31 and made a qso,
unfortunately Geri was too weak for me to copy on PSK31, though his carrier
was strong enough for hand speed morse copy. Geri was the same strength in
his beacon transmission at 0900z, again no copy.
On Sunday, I copied Geri working DK1IS at 0704Z on QRS, geri was a good 'O'
but
I could not detect DK1IS at all. Again a strong QRS signal from Mike G3XDV
at
0843z. I also heard Steve GW4ALG working G3YXM (0858z)at manual speed and
G4GVC (0913z).
I am now being plagued by an unstable rasping signal, which I think may be
the power supply of a local TV set, probably within 100m of my location. It
is
just possible, I suppose, that it could be a computer or games machine.
