At the end of March, Ed, RU6LA, with UA6LV and others, made a trip to a site with a 135m tower near Taganrog, Russia, where they operated on 136kHz with 100W. The signal certainly radiated well with reports coming in from Italy, Greece, Germany and the UK at distances of almost 3000km. Unfortunately, the large aerial was picking up far too much noise and the receiver just couldn't handle it; there were also computer problems with the waterfall display and no contacts were made. It was exciting to observe the number of stations calling and to watch the traffic on the packet cluster, which was full of stations passing on reports and trying to arrange skeds.
