Hi Christian. It is still on (1520UTC) and is certainly not QRP. The
ERP is approximately 0.4W. You have listened for me before but have
not heard me.
This is why I do not often use CW on 136kHz. I get reports from
2000km away every day in daylight when I use a slow mode like QRSS10
or Opera 32, but CW ranges are very limited unless very high power
can be used.
Several years ago, it was possible to get greater ranges on 136kHz
CW, and I was running lower ERP then. I believe QRM from commercial
stations and high noise from local QRN has raised the noise floor too
much.
Thanks for the report anyway. 73 de Mike, G3XDV
