Hi Christian,
At 0000, 0030, 0100 etc. I will call CQ on 477.7 and listen on 472.5
If conditions are poor at the time, they could improve in 30 mins.
(or get worse!). A CW beacon will be in operation between these
times and reports gratefully received.
It will be good to hear you again, Finbar, Lubos and anyone else
are most welcomed to join in tonight.
73 and Good Luck
Joe

Joe,
what do you mean exactly by "on the half hours"?
472.5 is ok for me, maybe Finbar will join there;-)

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...
