Not much time for going on the air this weekend but highlights were:
Friday
Heard OH3LYG for the first time (549). He did not reply to my call.
Saturday
Spent all day working at RSGB AGM, but managed interesting
eyeball QSOs with LFers G3YMC and G4JNT.
Sunday
During a brief period of insomnia at 0300, heard GW4ALG calling
DL1SAN. Steve was 599 but nothing heard of the DL. The Greek
RTTY was 10dB up on normal evening levels.
Later in the day heard two new ones: DK5PT (429), and M0BMU (5
9+10 9) who is about 10km away from me - real QRM at last!
Saw VCW from ON7YD. I will put up a picture of this which shares
the screen with two conventional QRSs QSOs on my web site this
evening. I found it difficult to decode with 8Hz dot/dash spacing
because the spacing was a greater screen distance than the length
of a dot (element). Would be interesting to experiment with much
closer spacing.
