[Lowfer] 29.499 tonight OP2H starts 2330...

[pbunn]

Hope to get my receive converter calibrated and back operating this week. I have been using the R75 sans converter for a while and can't go below 30,000 Hz except with the lower sideband. 

Sorry I have not had time to get in on the 29 KHz stuff. At about 100 miles, hopefully you would make than short haul easily.

Garry,

The 29.500 was I.  While tuning the antenna I had punched in 29.5 and 
forgot to move up 1 Hz.  I thought I was sending QRSS when I had to 
leave unexpectedly for a few hours.   Later I found I had left the 
control in carrier mode.  At approximately I started QP2H which ran  
until 1230UT.  I see there were again no decodes.  Even from David who 
is only 260 miles away. 

Dex,
who is not convinced OP2H is very productive
