Hi Graham, MF
Hard to believe, but true ! :-O
Iban EB3FRN and G8HUH spotting me on Opera Deep Search with only 5mW on antenna
Specially G8HUH at 1430Km, just one minute after my own spot on monitor due to
Deep Search delay
20:11 477 EA5DOM de G8HUH Op8 Deep Search 1430 km -35 dB in Somerset 1520.5
Hz with 5mw + Vert 11+80m
20:10 477 EA5DOM de EA5DOM Op8 0 km -5 dB F:1%_End in Albir 1519,0 Hz with
5mw + Vert 11+80m
G3XKR is also in the party. Let's see if he can spot me too
73 de Luis
