Thanks for the report Jim
Have raise the antenna by 1.5m. But not as good into G4wgt as I was a few months ago. Could be conditions? QRT now. 73 es GL Pete M0FMT IO91UX47VN --- On Tue, 23/8/11, James Moritz <[email protected]> wrote:

Dear Pete, LF Group,
Your (M0)FMT QRSS beacon was "O" copy about 5uV/m here near Hatfield at about 1630utc.
Cheers, Jim Moritz
