I had a poor copy on DJ2LF here due to the QRN, had that not been around he
would have been quite readable.

Thank you Jan for the QSO, Chris and all the others for the
many reports my email.
Yes, it was a historic moment for me! The first
amateur radio station i ever heared on MF (except 160m of course). The QSO was
like on HF, without any problems! I can well imagine that this is a CW band
where real time QSOs can take place. And this night is in summer and with high
QRN, so winther must be wonderful. No contest stress like on HF and still a
special place below 1 MHz :-) 137 kHz is the real challenge of course but its
very nice to have a real QSO band now!
I will go on to improve some
things here and will see how the active ferrite antenna performs on MF, maybe
cancelling out the QRN...
The QSB was interesting and it clearly shows
up that the ground range distance is much lower. I got audible copy from the
UK but nothing at DJ2LF in 175km distance... Will continue to listen and
prepare my remote link to key the PA here while sitting in the forest and
receiving there :-)
73,
