Heard you in Glasgow 0848 playing "Another One Bites the Dust" -- very weak, maybe SINPO 24322, but not bad for 7 watts! I'll try to get a recording, but not sure if it'll take.

Best,

Peter

Hello Ronald,

I receive your signal at 9H18 UTC of 6525,2 Khz with signal S5 to S9 lot of Fading and many atmospheric QRN, if you use only 7 watts it is a good reception of the force of the signal.
73's

I think I have you very weak here in the south UK,mostly carrier and weak noise, with occasional music coming through the mush. I'll record it and send it on later.

Jup that could be right The modulation is a bit low in power using an old 24-230 transformer and a midi set with cd player not the best things to be using for this :wink:

I'm sorry Marcel but I don't have a line in on the midi set in my garage
so I cant modulate voice and put in jingels.

Normaly I'm using the sk010 on a invV and for the audio i'm then using zara radio on my PC
But that is all in the house this homebuild tx is in my garage

Sparks in Sweden aswell

Hello Ronald.

Yes, my friend - You did it to Sweden aswell today. I heard you first very low on 6525. First I thought that it was Radio Ramona and just noted the freq and time. After 30 minutes or so the signal was fading up to sometimes 34333 in the peaks and then down to 22222. Today was not that stabile conditions. But I'm glad that I once more could hear you and that you got some extra power in the original transmitter.

All the best from Göran in Sweden

Hey Goran

I'm happy you heard me again in Sweden
This small tx is realy suprising me.
Ill try to build a extra tube behind the final
And maybe push the signal up to around 20 - 30 watts
But I don't have a clue if its going to work
But if it does Ill be testing it next week
Lets see if i can push your signal meter in the red corner :twisted:

thanks for your report

Hi Ronald, been getting your signal in the middle of England all morning.
The best signal was about 13:15 UTC when you were giving me S9+10, the rest of the time you are S7 to S9.

The RX this end is a Yaesu FT-840 with a full size G5RV ant.

Dave.
