Glad to receive your signal!
The capture was made in QRSS60. While I don't
have a s/n measurement, It would have been an easy QRSS30 reception and a bit
more difficult at QRSS10. Recption condx here are still with much QRN. In
mid winter that would have been easy QRSS10 and possibly even usable
QRSS3.
Missed the description of your TX setup. Any
info would be appreciated.

Dear LF,
I am back in Germany, after a very fine und
friendly weekend in France.
First i want to thank all those for the
support, the activity and the reports here in the reflector. Special thanks to
Markus/DF6NM for QSP to the reflector.
As you have heared, there were
not many hours with good winds conds but for camping and barbecue and getting
brown it was excellent :-) The wind came out of NE which is usually weak and
unstable. But i have taken my receiving loop antenna there and have clearly
received DF6NM, OE5ODL, F4DTL, SM6BHZ (JO67WQ copied!), F6BWO, DK6NI (maybe
someone forgotten, sri). Tnx to those stations for the activity which
impressed many people who have been demonstrated real LF activity in live, the
first time! Some screenshots are attached. The slow hell transmission of DF6NM
was vy impressive to the visitors.
Tnx for the RX reports to G3WCB,
F4DTL, W1VD, RA3YO, DF6NM, DD7PC, DJ1ZB, F5VLF, G4AYT, PA3CPM, F1AFJ,
PA3FNY!
Tnx for QSO to DF6NM and F4DTL. Sadly there was no time for CW
since the kite took all of my attention.
There was no chance to get the
kite into the air, even the 8.1m^2 kite stayed on the bottom. But on saturday
night arround 23 UTC the wind increased and lifted the kite into the air until
i went to bed/tent at 6:30 AM local time. On sunday morning it was up for some
minutes just, sadly... It was not a strong wind but mostly stable, so the
angle of the antenna was just about 45 deg. There were many hedges and some
metallic towers near the antenna which made it a little dangerous to operate
this antenna near (thinking about loosing the kite and destroying the
antennas). Additionally there was high grass which made a capacitive coupling
to ground (by my broad aluminium and copper plates) difficult. Even by using
all the metallc stuff arround as the ground (included the mains earth), the
overall loss restistance remained at about 50 Ohm, which made TX coupling easy
of course but not the efficiency. But i have had a mains connection, so no
need for a generator and so on.
I am happy about my new ODX to W1VD,
which is 5907 km from there. Jay, do you have further informations for me,
such as the S/N? Would it have been possible in QRSS-10 or QRSS-3? The signal
looks quite fine, except my unstable carrier (always a problem in a heatet car
when opening the door several times, even with the DDS VFO).
The
distance to LU8YD is 12150 km. Sadly there was no reception this time. But i
want to give it a try again in a not so lossy location and at better wind
conds.
All in all it was very satisfactory :-)
So, hpe cuagn in
my next activity which will be in this month i think :-)
73,
Stefan/DK7FC
PS: The RX signals seem to have successfully passed my
fiber optic cable link!;-)

Massive signal here - about the same
strenght as Mike G3XDV who is relatively local to me.

Latest news from F/DK7FC: The wind has now picked
up. After a short QSO with F4DTL, he is currently optimizing the setup a
bit, and hopes for more QSO's during the rest of the night.
Before sunrise between 4:30 and 5:30 UT, he
will beacon to Argentina and America on 137.775 kHz.
Best of luck,
Markus
