[Lowfer] SM6LKM beacon goes QRO

[John Andrews]

Johan,

>Was it ever audible or only visible?

I could hear it weakly during the short time I was downstairs last night.
The screen shots were running after that while I was asleep.

>In an earlier message I found your locator as FN43SV, is that correct?
According to my GPS, the distance is 5690 km from my QTH at JO67MR.
This means 707e3 miles per watt @ 5 mW... I'll put the -7 dB pad back
in the feedline to see if that number can be improved :-)<

My home QTH is at FN42ch. The other locator is for my RY beacon, which is
about 200 km away.

>In case I manage to copy your signal, what do you think about a 20m/22m
crossband QSO?<

I would like to try that, probably later this month, when I will be on
vacation at the RY location. Mitch Powell and I did a 22m QSO last summer --
a little awkward, but it worked.
