Hi Christian,
Yes, let's try for a real CW QSO tonight. Will call 0000 utc and
on the half hours until 0200. Will listen 472.5 kHz if that's OK
with you.
We are having a blizzard so experimentation with the antenna
is out for today. The TX might be convinced to give another 3 dB.
Let's hope that a fried FET is not in the future!

Hi Joe,
Can you QRO a bit for a real CW QSO?
You told me last time, you heard me and I heard you as well...

Many thanks for the reply to my calls. Your signals were also audible at
times. BIA could be heard before our QSO and WD2SXH/7 was about 559 near
476 kHz towards the end. Thank-you for staying up so late to make it all
happen! TX here 50 watts, ERP about 1 watt.

Hello Wolf,
Many thanks for the details of your reception. Sending audible sigs to DL
was very gratifing. There is some room to improve the ERP
and I look forward to experimenting with this.
73 and thanks again

Greetings all,
Nice signal from Joe throughout the night, strongest around 04:00 UTC
here, but 'ever-present' between start and sunrise.
Multi-strip spectrogram covering the strongest part (which was audible
during the peaks at 03:45 UTC):

The signal began to drop at 05:00 UTC, which is in the upper right corner
of the screenshot.
Thanks for the test Joe. Hope to meet you in a QSO mode one day, for me
JT9-1 appears manageable...
