Dear Pete, LF.
Hi, Pete. I just had 3/4 of a QSO with Chris. I missed the beginning of his
reply due to finger trouble at this end, but we exchanged 569/579 reports. I
am using an IC-PCR1000 which is a bit too broad for CW, so I follow it with
a PC running "Spectran". I need to remember to switch Spectran out of
circuit when I transmit, as it delays my sidetone by half-a second, which
does bad things to by CW sending speed!
My TX set-up is a 20m long "Tee" antenna at 5m height, and I run 10watts
into it from a single-ended FET PA in Class-C. This gives me an estimated
ERP of about 50 mW, but I expect it is actually quite a bit less in
practice, as my antenna is not very high and it has quite high losses.
We've never managed to hook-up on 137, but look forward to a QSO on 600m
73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM
