No joy!   You are coming through with strong traces and audible too.   

 

Switching to WSPR now as 50% duty cycle on JT4 will roast my pa!  

 

Maybe next time

 

With best regards

Jim,

 

Thanks for your report, I can see a trace on Dave's grabber at Birmingham & a very faint trace on my JT4A waterfall, it seems to be improving in strength but not enough for a decode yet.

 

One consolation is that it would not be visible or audible for CW.

 

Keep trying.

Hi Gary

 

3 captures of your signal so far all about -17dB.  I am Txing now on “odds” lets see if I make it.

 

I’ve had comm port issues before too, DM780 is a b****r for not letting go

 

 

With best regards

OK Jim,

 

Up & running now, just had a comms port snag, another app was holding the port.
