Re: R: LF: Transmitting 2200m WSPR again

[N1BUG <paul@n1bug.com>]

Hi Marco,

Yes, a bit odd. :-)) It worked perfectly last night. No rain, so the
antenna remained resonated.

I got reports from PA0RDT (thanks Roelof) but no others from over
the pond.

I will continue transmitting in coming nights, but if there are
storms I might have to shut down for a night.

73,
Paul N1BUG
