12.11.2005 KB8RQ JT65B -20 dB CWNR
F3VS CW 529 very strong, but could raise him to QRZ only
IK1FJI? CW -O- strong, but CW speed for EME on 1 yagi too high ...
Note: I believe, even with my low power more CW QSOs are possible. The antenna is
working very well now. Noise figure of the preamp is 0.45 dB including relays.
VSWR is very low and I can easily detect the noise of the "Milky Way".
I used LINRAD on a 2nd receiver for detecting stations. CW stations were easy to find
between all the birdies. WSJT stations were also easy to detect.
My 2nd receiver spans a 20 kHz spectrum.
