I was very pleasantly surprised at your decodes as we had bad ice here starting around 0200. I tried to keep retuning but by 0300 couldn't load much power-was down to 200 TX output! By 0730 whan I closed was on exciter at 50 watts! Band kept getting better but ice kept getting worse-great going on receive and the OPDS16 seems worth running on this long wave band. It's short duration seems to take advantage of the peaks as the sigs comes up out of those fades???Bob
