Sorry to hear, Brian. I still have mostly just a carrier here in the USA. Probably not enough for a QSL.

IDs heard on this, still in via Twente and as Chris notes, just barely audible carrier
heard on "regular" radios here in Maryland with Wellbrook 1530.

Lesson learnt last night.
Running a 70 yo transmitter with 125% modulation and the Optimod set for for the loudest possible audio (HF MAX setting) is not a good idea.
I can still smell the smoke from the power supply choke.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.  ;D
