Hi Paul,
I am not sure if I can be QRV tonight (and neither if I have the ERP to cross
the pond in JT9). But I will leave the RX in JT9 mode overnight, so you can
monitor if you are reaching me in PSKreporter.info.

Thanks Mal.
I will be there. I have removed the HF wires and once again have my
full 5 watts EIRP.
Will you be transmitting first or second? I will also CQ during the
2300-0100 time frame but will avoid using the same period as you so
we can find each other.
Let's get some trans-Atlantic QSOs made tonight !
