Hello Saturnus,

you were audible here in PL. There were digital interferences (fortunately not continuous) so overall is 2 or 3 in peaks.
Audio (made at 9UT) available on my webpage...

Also heard here from 0825-0855 UTC. I saw the posting above from you, so I got up verrrrrrry early (0825 UTC is 0325 here in the eastern U.S.!), and was fortunately able to hear you for a little while. My e-mail report was just sent, and I hope you can write back to me soon.
I also hope I can hear you again soon, and maybe you can come on some Friday or Saturday evening, anywhere from 2200 UTC on, when reception to North America from European Pirates has been outstanding lately. And now that I am back up again after a few more hours sleep, I raise a beer in toast to you!

Hello Saturnus!

I just logged in here to A.L. and saw your announcement!
I was listening to you up here too. Nice show! Some hours ago I also sent you a mail with a short recording from 08.45 - hope it reached you in one piece...

Strange radioweather this day, I only heard Saturnus and Orion from Holland, I wonder in what direction the signals from the other stations flew.

Hope to meet you soon again on 48 mb Saturnus!

Jan

Hello Saturnus, as I was on air I wasn't able to catch any signal from this new tx, but there wasn't any short skip also.
Ha Jan You copied Orion too? nice, because we had some strange conditions this weekend. till next time

Hi John! I could not hear you either here....
All the others:Thanks for listening and getting out of bed early specially to hear my broadcast.
I used a small tube- tx with 15 watts output and using screengrid modulation.
A simple to build tx with a great sound!
Schematic is available for those who are interested.

I certainly would! I have a single valve set here using an 6AQ5 - EL90, but haven't fired it up yet. Expecting around 1.5-2W out.

Regards, Mike.

What's your exact transmitting location, then, since you'r eso concerned with PBI's?
Everyone would like to know, especially the exact address of your house, and your transmitting location, and exactly what days and times you will be on.
Catch my drift, Skippy?
