No Markus, i'm not sure now !

The power reduction that i'm now using is the built-in circuit of the PA (ex-marine reserve transmitter): one relais takes the output of the driver stage and
brings it directly to variometer.

To match my antenna it is necessary one transformer before the variometer.  I'm now checking if there is some impedance mis-matching when final stage is by-passed.
So, work in progress.

Domenico, 
 
the QRP carrier is not visible here. The attached spectrum shows a stored peak from a short 100 W carrier around 20:40 (green). The yellow trace is the latest spectrum from approx. 21:30 to 22 UT. The noise is about 20 dB below the old peak, and the QRP signal must be less than that.  Are you sure that 10 W are delivered to the antenna?

Yes, Markus
      carrier is on now till next trasmission.

Domenico,
 
nil from the 10 Watt transmission at 21:00 UT, only noise.
 
Could you perhaps leave the carrier on during the pause, to let me check signal level and frequency?

Hi all,

Markus, thank you for the report.
The small difference in QRG is due probably to the fact that i'm not using resample now.
Transmission of 6 char./3s with 10 W will start in few seconds.

Hi Domenico, Paul,
 
good decode again from the first transmission which started accurately at 20:00 UT. I only noticed that I had to reduce the frequency offset by half a milliHz compared to earlier tests.

Good evening Paul, Markus and all,        
thank you for your updates. 
I will start some EbNaut transmission at 22.00 each hour and hope that     Paul can make some measurement on my signal . Qrg is 137502.24 Hz 
Initial trasmission at 22.00 will contains 22 characters at 1 s/symbol     and will be sent with 100 W power output. 
Following transmissions will contains 6 characters at 3 s/symbol and     should be sent with 10 W.    Coding scheme: 8K19A.    
    GL.
