That's great - because of the 362 miles - it would be interesting to
discover the mode of propagation (ground or D layer , etc ) and watch what
happens during the up-coming Spring season.

Yes - glad to see the Loran lines fade away in the morning - I wonder if you
could copy QRSS 3 ?  At that speed we could almost have a conversation
because I could get a hand key out and send messages .
TAG and I had a QSO last summer on 13 MHz - using keys at QRSS 3, and it
does work.

Okay - you've convinced me - and I am in the process of rewinding the 1 mH
coil. It is wound with #22 enam. - and I am rewinding with #16 in case I can
pick up a few dB.

Thanks
