Got a qsl from both SM0RWO and IS0GRB-3 to last beacon so may have got it right way hi. You were S 3 to 5 snr 9 imd -30 when we were on 250R . I missed some RSID's and had to force mfsk32 at one point. Just had burst of woodpecker as well. Feel free to try again if you see a beacon strong enough my beacons are on min 26 and 46. Power dropped back to 30 watts now. Roger G6CKR
