The sun has been moved away, I think, because I have´t seen it for three weeks :-(  

Sounds terrible! Here it has been sunny most of the days in the last weeks but yesterday and today it is overcast too.. Hopefully there will be no rain. The voltages on the coil are even higher than on all previous kite experiments!

There are fog and rain here only. Brrr!

Brrr seems to be an international word, known everywhere. We use it here too :-)

Despite the weather and probles with antenna tunning (all is wet continuously) my beacon OK0EMW is transmitting every night and I am often active on 500kHz for a QSO as well.

We could try a xband QSO 500/137 in CW! Can you hear me in CW on 137? I've never done an attempt to receive on 500 kHz but maybe worth to start first experiments soon. Probably its all much easier than on 137 kHz?

It is really interesting band and I hope, it will be  available for all hams soon.

Do you think you would see a trace from my antenna when i tune to ~ 500 kHz? ;-)

73, GL, Stefan

 

GL and 73!
