Helo Jim, Group,

It is a pleasure to hear from you again, Jim, as well to learn that you
were able to hear VX9MRC.  Thank-you kindly for the report.

The TX is a homebrewed class E with 40 V B+, and is beacon mode for now,
running continuously 100 watts at 1.6 RF amps to a 100 metre wire at
10m height.

73 to all

Dear LF Group,

Well, Gus' SSB beacon is getting up to about S5 here at times, but I can also hear (at 2238utc) VX9MRC on about 507.77kHz peaking up to about RST549, with the usual deep QSB. I think this is the first time I have heard a readable transatlantic CW signal on 500k.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
