Weekend and Monday

On Saturday morning I called CQ using QRSS3 on 137.7kHz, but had no reply.

I spent the rest of the weekend monitoring 472 and 500kHz, bit heard little except the usual CW net on Sunday morning (see previous posts). Static was bad  at night.

On Monday night I transmitted Opera8 overnight and although I was not received in Russia, the path to Iceland was more prolonged and signals were better than in previous weeks. Thanks to the following for reports: GW0EZY, G4MDH, DF2JP. GW3UCJ, DK7FC, G0TKN and TF3HZ. The latter station decoded several of my transmissions between 2228 and 0327UTC at peak signal / noise ratio of -28dB.
