Hello Tony,

Yep, I've seen you on 20m. I've also seen Philip ZL2TZE about 50Hz 
higher. I have to confess that I don't know who is "on" frequency 
because my TS430 needs calibrating, although when it was on 10147.600 it 
seems to be in the right spot. Currently it's between you and Philip on 
14096.62. Given that I decoded you with a dial reading of 14096.6 I 
guess Philip has the error. At least now my signal is clean he can work 
around that.

Philip and I had a brief voice contact on the aprs frequency earlier 
tonight and he pointed me to a quality problem with my transmission. 
That turned out to be a power supply issue (I think it doesn't like the 
rapidly changing peak current - it's a 44A switchmode unit) which I've 
managed to work around for now.

I'll keep monitoring until I turn in in about an hours time.

Just decoded you again at 19:38.
