Hi Paul,

sorry for the waste of power.. no sigs on this side of the Alps in the evening (so afternoon for you) the noise was quite high but after 22UTC the noise dropped but no records :-(

I'm happy that at least big ears Roelof logged you! :-)

73, Marco Ik1HSS

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
