Hi Alberto,
thanks for the report!
I also got reports from
Steinar LA5VNA in JO59JQ
Hartmut in JO52HO
Pierre ON5SL in JO10TT
but your report was the best DX :o)
Hi Johan
and it could have been still better, had I not had that pesky QRN that
kept
my S-meter pinned at S9... the JRC noise blanker was completely ineffective
against it. It was similar to that caused by a dimmer in my living
room, which
yesterday night was duly kept switched off. May some neighbour has a new
toy.... :-(

P.S. This afternoon the electrical company has changed my meter with one
of the new type, remotely read and controlled via low frequencies carried by
the power wires. I do hope I won't have any added QRM from that...
I noticed that they are externally programmable via an infrared port on the
body of the meter itself.... now, almost every laptop nowadays has an
infrared port.... time to put on again my old hacker hat, not used
since many years...:-)
