LF: Re: [500] G3GRO QSO G3WCB 503.500 kHz

["DEREK ATTER" <derek.atter@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the QSO on the 600m band - it was my second QSO on 500kHz since 
receiving the NOV on Thursday, my first being on Saturday AM with Mal, G3KEV 
up in Scarborough.
 You were a strong "paint" when you were calling on QRSS when I called you 
euvalent to around RST569/579 with some evidence of QSB.   I had been 
listening to Dave G3YXM beaconing and moved HF about 500hz to avoid him when 
I called you and at the same time hopefully avoiding anybody replying QRSS 
directly on your frequiecy.  You were a good 10dB stronger than Dave G3YXM 
but quite a bit closer as you say. I could hear Dave on the side when I 
opened up the RX pass band but I was using the 500hz
