Hello, All,

This morning, 2006/05/25, at 08:13 UTC Steve, VE7SL, made a two-way QSO on 137.5735 kHz with VY1JA using QRSS60. His signals were so strong that in the end, I asked him to switch to conventional CW and he was 100% copy at about 12 WPM. I hope to be able to send Steve the .WAV file and captures of the QSO from my end for his website.

I believe this is the first ever LF QSO from Yukon.

The transmitter at the Yukon end was Steve's old tuning transmitter running at its low power setting, approximately 25-30 Watts, which should be about 0.1W ierp.

Steve should get a gold star for his skill at pulling out the weak signals.

When parts arrive in the next week or so, I will be switching the station to VFO control and be moving the transmitter frequency to the watering hole on about 137.77845

Many thanks to Steve for his patience for the 2-1/2 hours it took to get this QSO through.

73,

"J"
VY1JA
