Bob, ZL QSO group, and onlookers. :o)
Not much cance of reception from ZL, but the beacon is on anyway. The
station is running less than 1/2 W ERP, so if any distant stations see
traces from here it is a miracle, much less a station 12227 km away! The
best chance for a ZL QSO is with any of the others who might be on.
Please confirm the final sked for this weekend's work, even though it is a
VERY long shot that you will have any reception from here with such low
power.
Recovery from the illness is slower than expected and I do not feel the amp
will be functional before this weekend. No smoke yet, but no RF yet either.
It looks like it should be working, but something is wrong and I have not
been able to isolate it. With only a hand full of parts this is
embarassing. The amp has been set aside until I feel well.
VY1JA ~137778.1, 13778.25 DFCW120, letter "J", preceeded by VY1JA at 12 WPM
CW on the dit frequency, repeating at ~13 minute intervals. It is back
beaconing 24/7 until the sked this weekend.
Reports and captures continue to be appreciated.
