LF, Hello!
Many thanks to all that have reported and suggested so far. I will reply to you
later. I'm busy setting up and perfecting things at the moment :)
New QRG as suggested by Jim: 136.35kHz
New MSG to aid FFT reception: Id "VVV DE OH1LSQ OH1LSQ" in 12WPM + 2 9s dashes
(TT in QRSS3). Cycle runs once a minute.
When I'm confident the PSU makes it like this I can raise the odds by sending
full callsign in QRSS3.
