  Hi Dom,

  thanks for the report. I am pretty sure you were listening to the 50W 
  signal (have not talked to Per this morning yet).

  The plan for QRO (600W) is / was: Friday Dec. 20th to Monday 23rd the 
  the station will TX high power, starting at 6:00gmt for ONE hour (6-7UTC).
  Reason is: 'Someone' should be around to monitor the TWT :-)

  Maybe we can do better in the future with the 20s on / 40s off but we 
  have to be nice to the equipment too.

  At least the 'small test from us over the last days' got some stations 
  on the moon to try to listen on 10 Ghz ...

  Merry X-mas to all, we keep you updated.

  73ss

  Carsten
