Hi Laurence,
Condx are EXCELLENT on LF/MF. Do you see real chance for our path this
night? If so, which mode would be preferred? And are you RXing or TXing
at all? :-)

Chaps/chappesses -Looking at my results here overnight I have just too
much thermal drift with my present driver for the 30 mode - the issue
is my trusty FT817 driver using 5MHz IF that even with a TXCO is...too
drifty. JT9-5 is fine - But hey it may have been pretty on an Argo/SL
screen :-)
The environment is rather hostile for radios - temps are around 0degC
in the garage even with heat (that I can afford anyway) so from long
off periods the radio cools even internally..I need to being the lot
back in the office/shack - but real estate is rather limited and Im in
deep negotiations with the boss.
Its fine with the "faster" modes but I have some work to do with the
850 and other drivers - it was just a stop gap to get me on the air.
Ill dig out the ZL1BPU DDS and continue to work on the 850 external
locked ref oscillator doubler board.
Ill run JT9-5 for a while today for testing purposes - dial 136, tx
plus 1100Hz (carrier 137.11 appx) -
