Many thanks Martin! You managed it a few months ago as well. Good eyes and ears, HI.
Just wondering if any of the Dutch stations are managing to copy me as the loop is better aligned in that direction. Will leave it running overnight.

Roger,
Got
the full callsign this time. I think you're actually on 137768.3 - close
enough!

Thanks for trying Martin. I
appreciate this.
At just 150uW ERP I'm not surprised, but I'll keep the
137.769kHz QRSS30 beacon running overnight and hope someone manages to see the
QRPp signal.
There has been some success today on my road to a higher
ERP. I've bought a pile of 1kV polypropylene caps from Farnell and a few
more 3C90 42mm toroids and first tests with FET PA changes are encouraging. I
now need to make a much higher power transverter to make a real difference.
This will not happen instantly as I've grandchildren staying again and a 2
week holiday coming up, but I do intend to make myself visible this
autumn.

Well,
I've been watching SpecLab for the past hour, Roger, but nary a thing, as
usual.
It will happen one day, I hope!

The
ERP of my QRSS30 LF beacon on 137.7679kHz has been increased to
around 150uW. This is about 5-6dB more than the last time I ran
it.
It will run from 1700z Thursday to 0800z Friday and I'd
appreciate any reports from near and far.
The beacon sends
"XBM"in QRSS30 with the full call at 10wpm periodically for full
ID.
