Hi Wolf,
Thanks for the QSO in fb conds. And sorry for the sudden loss of my signal.
I knew that your time is limited so i hurried to be QRV at 21 UTC. A few
minutes before i did a calibrating test of my antenna current
amperemeter which is using a current transformer. For reference
measuring i soldered a 1 Ohm resistor in series to a 50 Ohm dummy load
to measure the voltage with the scope. But then i forgot to remove it
after the calibration. Later in the QSO, during my very long Durchgang,
the resistor became so hot that the solder melt and the contact was
open. Then i connected the antenna directly and switched to LO. No idea
what the TX pwr was in this situation.
So, far from optimal and all quite confusing :-) But that's amateur
radio :-)
Now i've repaired the matchbox and call CQ again but you are probably on
the way to your bed...
Next time! At least the band looks promising for a real QSO band and
your signals were up to a true 579!

Hi Stefan,
ok- I'm heading for DF0WD now. No internet access there this time.
Will call on 472.5 and listen there, also on 501+x kHz.
Cheers,
Wolf .
