Hello Transatlantic Crew,
I just talked to Petr, OK1FIG on 136.600 kHz. He has seen nil from VE1ZZ
this night but is happy he has been seen at the other side of the pond.
According to my calculations, this is at least a new LF world record,
bridging 5697 km (if my estimation of VE1ZZ's QTH as FN84CM is correct).
Conditions were obviously not good enough over to the European continent, I
myself saw no signs from Canada until 03.30 UTC when I could see very weak
traces ('T') of a QRSS signal on 136.500 kHz.
Petr and Jiri will remain QRV until about noon today and then go home.
According to what I have seen on the cluster they were heard quite well all
over Europe, reports came in from Estland and even Moscow. They might try
to put up an lw-antenna later today to try some crossband QSOs.
Any news from our crew in the US? I keep my fingers crossed for G0MRF/P
<--> VE1ZZ tonight! Keep up the good work, its fun to participate as an
observer (and with my qrp-erp at least being able to qsp ...).
Best 73
