Hi Stefan

Well as far as I can tell it should be 4mW.
My original TX gave 200uW calculated and confirmed by James some time ago. I did increase that with a capacity hat but that was mechanically a problem to keep in the air and was removed a year ago..
The current figure ties up with the TX power increase and the resultant reports. Recently I have been down to 20uW and reports likewise follow the math. I wanted to try 2uW but I can't get that low yet, I am working on that, whether it it is worth the effort is another thing (I could use a 10dB attenuator), I want to confirm that I should get a decode from G0VQH (91Km) with room to spare.
Interestingly G0VQH is in my 'magic' direction from here and someone reminded me the other day that I always say re QRP on HF that Germans live at the bottom of my garden. :-)

The antenna is still the same, inv. L less than 6m up and 6m horiz.

That would be quite remarkable over that distance over land.

At 1056 z there were 3 stations active about the same strength on waterfall but only one decoded PA3EGO
I think it must be a Timing sync problem somewhere. I suppose ideally everyone should be locked to the same time standard.

It's your end Mal, I see that Roger didn't do a runner after posting malicious urls. So download atomic kitten or any of the standard time utilities and get you computer time sorted.
Mind you can do it by hand, I did for years.and even during M/S QSO's because my old computer could loose 3 or 4 seconds whilst making a 1 min transmission, blimey those were the days. There is only one Standard time and all time servers will be the same.
