Ok  Wolf , well  would  be  a case  for  high  speed   cw  ? catch the  call  in the  qsb peaks  ,  s4  s6 is  a  good  level  with   150  watts  , to the  inv L  , 40  ft  vert  section  with  top  coil , garden is   40 ft  x  20 ft , so  just  shows , can work 500  from a  normal   station  , actually  the  inv L is the  same as HF , I just  change the  tuner  from the   variometer  to the  racal  auto  tuner  , same  PA and  exciter 
 
Yes  people  ask about  a  party , unfortunate   choice  of  night  ... but  where  are the  old  guard  now  ?

Hi Graham,

Yes, in a sense DF0WD's transmission must have sounded like a beacon... callsign repeated multiple times, since after the initial call Fortunato had only copied the 'DF0' but not the rest; and I could only hope not to 'go down in QSB'. He was 579 here so his TX must be a bit stronger.

Your signal was between 449 and 569 here, similar QSB as Jan mentioned.

How about a "Farewell Fivehundred" party in the coming days ?

Ok Wolf,
 
Ah , so  when is a  beacon not  a  beacon .?..  when its a  slow  cw  qso  !
 
I only looked  for short time  and  copied the  call   two  times 
 
Jan had  qsb on my  signal  , but  he was  ok  with  me , only   1  or 2   s points , but  500  seems to  have a distinct   time  X  distance  window at these  ranges , where signal's  peak  and  fall  away
