[600MRG] Round two: U3 experiment

[Charlie , W5COV]

I had been seeing you earlier today during the daylight. I need to look 
up our distance on groundwave. I am caught up on shipping kits until the 
middle of next week, so I am going to get my U3 put together tonight and 
get the 600 meter receiving station back in shape and maybe finish up 
the new power amplifier.

I left WSPR running all night, but it stops running for some reason 
after a few hours. I need to look into that.

THANK YOU for providing me with a great signal to work with as I get 630 
meters running back like the original 600 meter first days of testing. 
Hopefully with even a better receiving system than before.

You were certainly QSO strength on all of my captures.

Charlie, W5COV

And no, its not an old buick out in the driveway on cinder blocks HI!  I am still working out the ERP numbers but I am calling it 25 mW ERP at the moment.. I may revise that after I run the numbers again.  Details after the experiment.
