| | Ok Michel, thanks, and you're not alone .. also a bit of confusion with the
      buttons here, and as usual I didn't look into the manual about the
      pink colour of the 'free msg' field (where I entered the final
      message, maybe it contained too many bits for transmission and
      didn't get through).
 
 For Andy 'CNI: Here is a comparison with Michel copied from WSPR,
      just received here some minutes ago. Difference about 15 dB.. but
      chances not too bad for an aural CW QSO later in the evening:
 
 1738  -3  0.6   0.475654  0 F5WK JN18 27
 1742 -18 -1.0   0.475632  0 F6CNI JN19 13
 1742 -25 -0.6   0.475792  0 IW4DXW JN64 40
 1744 -14 -0.1   0.475654  0 F5WK JN18 27
 1748 -20 -2.0   0.475632  0 F6CNI JN19 13
 1748 -20 -1.1   0.475660  0 I5EFO JN53 30
 1748 -17 -0.6   0.475792  0 IW4DXW JN64 40
 1750 -12  0.0   0.475654  0 F5WK JN18 27
 
 
 Michel's signal at -3dB was audible here already.
 But as usual, the QSB is extreme (F5WK: between -3 and -14 dB
      within a few minutes).

      Hi Wolf,
 Pleased to have a nice QSO, even if the op this side got a bit
        confused with some buttons !
 Yes, I had plenty of time to build a decent MF station, waiting
        for a permit

 | Hello
                Michel, 
 Thanks for the QSO and the info - your JT9-1 signal was
                mostly audible in 2.7 kHz audio bandwidth.
 
 Most of my MF station (especially the RX) is also PIC
                controlled - not via DDS but old-fashioned DTMF tones
                ;-)

 Thanks for the JT9 QSO and the good report.
 I've been using 200 watt RF power into a rather inefficient
        antenna: 10 meter high, with almost no toploading.
 
 For transmit, I use a "direct link" to the WSJTx software to get
        the 65 channel symbols  as a lookup table.
 Then they are sent to a PIC driving a DDS. Everything is under
        the control of the WSJTx software (TX frequency ,PTT, messages)
