Hello shortwave friends,
today I registered on this forum to thank you for your reports.
This was one of my first test transmissions.
I used a 250-watt carrier and an Inverted V antenna.
I live in the Netherlands, on the edge of "De Meinweg" National Park.
Thanks again very much for your reports.
Best regards, Patrick
